In short
Jeb Burris is listed as the fight and intimacy director on Witch at American Players Theatre in Spring Green, Wisconsin, and as movement and intimacy director on Clyde's at Clarence Brown Theatre in Knoxville, Tennessee, both this fall.
What to look for
A fight director plans and rehearses stage combat so that it looks real and stays safe. An intimacy director does the same for kissing, touch and close contact, so the cast knows exactly what will happen and feels comfortable. Witch is a dark comedy about a deal with the devil, which calls for tightly planned physical moments. Clyde's is a play set in a kitchen at a truck stop sandwich shop, where movement in a small space is part of the story. Audiences will rarely notice this work when it is done well, because it makes the action feel natural. This page does not cover his wider career.
