RACHEL LINSKY

Picture

Rachel is a Boston-based dancer, choreographer and educator. Her favorite style of dance is floor barre, though she has found more success identifying as a contemporary dance artist. Rachel dances with KAIROS Dance Theatre and also directs and choreographs ZACHOR, an ongoing project series that seeks to preserve the words of WWII Holocaust survivors through dance. While most of Rachel's creative work is serious and somewhat dark in nature, she is actually a very light-hearted and happy person. When she’s not dancing or burying herself in  work, Rachel’s idea of a good time is any type of summer camp style group game or organized fun.


Rachel Linsky is a Boston-based contemporary dance artist. She holds a B.F.A. in Dance Performance and Choreography and a B.A in Arts Administration from Elon University where she graduated summa cum laude. For the past 5 years Rachel has been directing and choreographing ZACHOR, an ongoing series that seeks to preserve Holocaust survivor testimony through dance. In the past two years Rachel has also been choreographing works for klezmer music that fuse elements of Yiddish folk dance with her contemporary practice. 
​

Rachel has presented work at venues throughout Boston including the Boston Center for the Arts, the New England Conservatory, The Huntington Theater, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Additionally, she has presented dance films in national and international festivals such as Earl Mosely’s Diversity of Dance “Dance is Activism Film Festival '', Prague International Film Festival, and many more.

Rachel was one of the 2022-23 JArts and CJP Community Creative Fellows, and is currently a member of the 2023-24 Next Steps for Boston Dance cohort. She has been awarded funding by the New England Foundation for the Arts, The City of Boston, The Russell J. Efros Foundation, The Beker Foundation, The Boston Foundation, and Combined Jewish Philanthropies. In addition to her choreographic work, Rachel dances with KAIROS Dance Theater and teaches workshops in Contemporary, Ballet and Yiddish dance throughout the Boston area.

The Click creates and performs primarily on land presently known as Wilmington, Sudbury, Somerville, Cambridge, and Boston, Massachusetts. We acknowledge that these lands are the original home of the Pawtucket, Massachusett, and Nipmuc tribal nations. This land acknowledgement is a formal statement to honor, respect, recognize, and pay homage to these original stewards of these lands and their enduring relationship with the territories on which we dance today. We acknowledge the painful history of genocide, violent removal, and forceful relocation as we honor and respect the many diverse Indiginous Peoples who remain connected to this and all land in our country. We urge our audiences to take the time to educate themselves on the communities that are indigenous to the land they live and work on. We encourage all our partners to continuously learn how they may contribute to protecting and supporting indigenous peoples and practices.
