Rachael is an actor, theatre-maker and facilitator. She is the immediate past Artistic Director of Melbourne Playback Theatre Company and has a Bachelor of Performing and Screen Arts. Since 2004, Rachael has worked across Australia and New Zealand as an actor, director, facilitator and teaching artist.
“Rachael was both a professional and approachable presence. Her approach diminished the group’s usual feelings of fear and inadequacy. At all times Rachael was connected to what was happening to individuals and to the group as a whole and in turn that engendered a beautiful safe space”
She applies the tools of improvisation, acting technique, storytelling and play to encourage people to get the most out of their communication and to connect to themselves and their community authentically.
“You did such a great job of facilitating, well done on holding the crowd and their sensitivities and finding ways to navigate the interactions and keep the show on track.”
Organisations with which Rachael has worked include: Bastow Education, Bupa, Glasko Smith Klein, Ernst & Young, La Trobe University, Monash University, NAB, and Qantas.
Rachael is a core faculty member for our DRAMATICEFFECT© program.
