Rachel was the curator of dance for the Menashe Forest Music Festival, Israel in 2016 and 2017. Between 2020-2024 Rachel was artistic director of Machol Shalem’s dance week and accompanied artists on their creative journey between concept to final performance. http://www.macholshalem.co.il/festival/?lang=en
what people say about working with Rachel on their creative processes:
“Rachel often knows where I am trying to go in my artistic journey before I know and helps me to get there.” (Ori Lenkinski)
“Rachel accompanied me, on my piece ORLEOR as part of a MASH dance festival. There is something so clean and egoless in Rachel's gaze, she reflected to me what she sees, where the dangers are, where the potential is and gave me a sense of security and faith in the artistic act, and a lot of freedom to continue playing and precise the performative actions. I felt that she is very attentive to my needs and to the creation and says only what can promote and help, it's a pretty amazing thing and really not obvious.” (Merav Dagan)
“I had the honour of working with Rachel as an artistic director for the first time in 2020 during the pandemic. Rachel had the ability to guide me through this artistic challenging time and support my creation “PENETRATION” becoming the best version of itself while adjusting it to the new format of online performances and to the restrictions of that period in time. After that I have invited Rachel to artistically advise me on my latest piece “SAMUNI (blind me)” - Rachel has the ability to see what you as an artist is trying to achieve and push you that way gently while lighting the possible options to do so. It is rare and wonderful to work with an artistic director who sees you, your path and language and assists you to squeeze out the best in any way.” (Gilad Jerusalmy)
