Rachel is a kickass human specialising in the practice of being and evolving into a joyfully distracted conscientious activator in Te Ao Mārama, otherwise known as our multidimensional timespace.

 

With formal training in things and ideas from places and people (Bachelor of Design: Otago 2005, Masters of Design/Spatial Design: AUT 2012, Regenerative Practitioner Series: Regenesis Group 2017) - mostly related to communicating parallel and intersecting universes of knowing and moving, she enjoys offering uncomfortable moments within familiar settings to enable shifts of consciousness, feeling or state.

Rachel has also managed to create two mostly autonomous and interdependent life systems (Kahukura rāua ko Matariki), whilst steadily maintaining a movement and teaching practice based in, and spiralling out of Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland, focussing on contact improvisation, Muscle and Bone, somatics and improvised performances practices. Her bones are woven from the waters of Te Waipounamu, and continues to draw inspiration from the stories and songs of her tūpuna.
