She has performed with Jo Kreiter Flyaway Productions, Kathleen Hermesdorf, Kim Epifano and The Joe Goode Performance Group in the United States and with wee dance company, Sommer Ulrickson, and Jess Curtis in Berlin. As a director and choreographer, Rachael is interested in staging the indeterminate relationships between movement, sound, words, and images with specific attention to the intersections of grief and humor, patience and surprise, memory and imagination. Her work has been presented in venues including the Sophiensaele Theater in Berlin, Theater Artaud in San Francisco, Middlebury College, UCLA, The San Francisco International Dance Festival, The Dublin Fringe Festival, The Bytom Dance Festival in Poland, and The Indonesian Dance Festival in Jakarta. Her work has been nominated for two Isadora Duncan Awards; Best Ensemble Performance in 2006 and Best Choreography in 2009.
