Rachael joins Regina Botros to share her beginnings as a creative to the current Marrugeku show at the Carriageworks.

Racheal grew up around activism and protests with her parents in New Zealand and has forged a career as a director and dramaturg of trans-disciplinary and intercultural dance theatre as well as a dance and performance scholar and researcher.

She specialises in creating platforms for Indigenous and intercultural choreographies and dramaturgies in dance and in facilitating these practice-led research projects to redefine contemporary arts practices.  Prior to Murrageku she was founding member and Co-Artistic Director of Stalker Theatre from 1989 to 2014. 

Burrbgaja Yalirra 2 features a trilogy of short works that trace histories of migration, relocation, cultural adaption and survival, and draws on the power of ancestral presence to remember the future and is on at the Carriageworks 21 - 29 April 2023.
