Yarit (nickname “Yar”) is an interdisciplinary movement creative, choreographing movement, combat, and intimacy with an emphasis on storytelling, safety, and craft. Her fight/movement/intimacy choreographies have been seen in the West End, Royal Opera House, RSC, Shakespeare's Globe, Regent's Park Theatre as well as on High End TV and Film such as both Wicked movies, Rings Of Power series and Knife Out movies.
A leading voice in the UK's intimacy practice since 2018, Yarit became the West End’s first Intimacy Director in 2019. That same year, she transitioned her work to screen as Intimacy Coordinator on the BBC’s Adult Material, a show which earned Hayley Squires an Emmy.
IN THE PRESS
INTIMACY DIRECTION IN DANCE
"Other intimacy directors hired for dance productions, like Yarit Dor, Sarah Lozoff and Anisa Tejpar, were professional dancers who started doing intimacy work while working in theater and film. In addition to consent and boundary practice, they advise about modesty garment options when partial nudity is involved. "
NEW YORK TIMES
FIGHT DIRECTION
"But his words are not enough. They fight anyway (beautifully directed by Yarit Dor), so he exiles them both."
Richard II, Shakespeare's Globe
THE STAGE
INTIMACY COORDINATION
"Her presence in the rehearsals that we did with her before shooting, going into a room together and blocking out each moment, and how we were going to shoot them, and the placement of our bodies, even down to the placement of our hands or foot or leg… It allowed a real safety around it. It meant that when we got on set, we were able to just relax about it and concentrate on the content of the scene.."
