Rachel Snider is a performer, writer and director who works across theatre and live art. After completing her university degree Rachel moved to Paris to train at the Jacques LeCoq Theatre School. In 2006 she formed Rififi Theatre Company where she worked with an ensemble of actors devising and directing a range of theatre productions including The Alice Project and Lulu. Most recently she has created and performed her solo show Camellia and the Rabbit. Performances include Artsadmin, the Belfast Festival at Queens in Ireland and in March 2013 the work will be presented at the South Banks' Woman of the World Festival.

Rachel's work is drawn from a playfully eclectic array of performative and aesthetic traditions which are dramaturgically woven together to create intimate and immersive experiences for audiences through story telling, theatrical devices and the absurd &/or hyper real. Rachel's work employs a poetical, comical style of text, her own biography, costumes, props, movement and music along with a highly specific and complex visual iconography. Her aim is to create performance that is dream like - incorporating as it does the surreal, clown antics and an interrogation of the every day. Rachel has also worked with many artists and theatre companies in the UK including Bobby Baker, David Cronenberg and Robert Wilson at the Watermill centre.
