Mimi Côté

Mimi (she/her) is an intimacy coordinator who brings her vast experience as a bilingual (French and English) actress and stuntwoman to each intimate artistic performance. Mimi has been trained and certified by the Intimacy Coordinators Canada program and the Intimacy Professional Association program according to the highest film and TV industry standards. Mimi’s approach to intimacy coordination is the same as her approach as a performer; she applies guidelines while intuitively working with the actor’s impulses and natural movements to make sure the intimacy always serves the story.  

Mimi’s IC work is informed by sixteen years of teaching, choreographing, and training in movement work in the circus and eleven years on film sets playing characters in scenes involving nudity, simulated sex, and simulated sexual violence. Not only can she read actors’ body language with precision, but she knows how to provide the necessary support and guidance to performers during challenging scenes. Mimi serves as a strategic coach to ensure the actors’ personal boundaries are respected, the director’s vision is communicated, and makes sure producers have sets where the artistic process is executed safely. Intimacy is a vital and joyful part of storytelling; Mimi strives to make the experience a positive one.
