VICTORIA HUNT
Victoria Hunt is a multidisciplinary artist with ancestral affiliations to Te Arawa, Rongowhaakata, Kahungunu (Māori) and Pakeha Irish, English, Finnish heritages. Born on Kombumerri Country (Surfers Paradise, Australia), their work as a dancer, choreographer, director, dramaturg and photographer delves into Indigenous epistemologies within diasporic concepts of identity formation and belonging. Grounded in Mātauaranga Māori, Body Weather philosophy/practice and IndigiQueer revitalization within creation practices, they traverse the politics of Rematriation – inserting bodies into frameworks of power, for future ancestors.
She is a member of De Quincey Co. Australia’s leading Body Weather dance company (Syd), holds a BA in Photography (1999), a first-class honours in Performance Studies (UNSW 2018), is a feature artist in the Biennale of the Arts of the Body, Image and Movement (Madrid), and is the lead actor in two feature-length speculative fiction films, Nightfall on Gaia (2015) and Cosmographies (2024), both directed by Juan Salazar. Victoria is the co-founder of Weather Beings with 2Spirit Metis artist Moe Clark (tio’tia:ke/Montreal).
KEILA TERENCIO
Keila Terencio is a performance artist born and raised in Brazil. Her artistic practice intertwines physical theatre and visual arts, delving into the subjects of culture, languages, and diversity through the mediums of aerial dance, puppetry, and movement. Keila’s creations are multi-dimensional, incorporating objects, installations, and audience engagement.
Keila has worked as a puppeteer at Belvoir Street Theatre for their production “The Weekend” and at Erth Visual and Physical Inc. over the last 2 years on national and international puppetry-based tours. She has also been involved in creative projects with Sydney Opera House’s Centre for Creativity and Strings Attached Physical Theatre.
