Rachel Lambright is an interdisciplinary video artist from Sarasota, FL. Her approach to all art-making is rooted in her rich experience of dance as dynamic, ephemeral expression. Through collaborative creation and intimate composition, her work explores themes of impermanence and altered reality while in pursuit of emotional truth. 

Rachel’s short, experimental dance films have been shown nationally and internationally at Austin Dance Festival and Holding Common Ground: Pathways to Cultural Exchange in Vietnam. She has collaborated with various choreographers, such as Julie Bour, to create documentaries of their artistic practices and works-in-process and finds fulfillment in capturing real-time creative process in rehearsals. Her experience capturing behind the scenes, performances, and promotional material includes working as a Video Documentation Intern at Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, under the leadership of Nel Shelby Productions, in the summer of 2023. She also helped craft the digital offering of Sarasota Contemporary Dance’s Triangle Program, an educational three-in-one dance experience for elementary and middle school students of all abilities, with videography and editing. During her studies at CalArts, she worked as an assistant teacher for dance film courses and various guest artist film workshops, continuously finding new ways to combine the two mediums she works in most - film and dance.

Rachel is currently a freelance videographer and editor based in Sarasota, FL, and is an artistic collaborator with Los Angeles project-based dance company T O R R E N T as Cinematographer / Media Manager. 

Rachel holds an MFA in Film and Video, specializing in Integrated Media, from California Institute of the Arts and a BFA in Dance Performance and Choreography from the University of South Florida.
