I am a brooklyn based South African /Australian theatre-maker, director and writer who has developed and presented new performance since 2004. I HAVE JUST COMPLETED A MFA AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. 


I am concerned with themes of cultural geography, social justice, memory, history and identity and seek out new forms of performance and unique audience experiences. My practice often involves site specific locations, interdisciplinary theatrical elements and international collaborations. 

 

I am also a photographer and you can check out some of my photographs here http://talyachalef.wix.com/chalefphotography
