Our Team

Victoria Hunt's work delves into Moana-nui-a-kiwa Oceanic epistemologies. She is a dance artist, choreographer, director, dramaturg, filmmaker, and photographer. Her practice reinstates IndigiQueer futurity—grounded in Mātauranga Māori and BodyWeather—within the politics of Rematriation. A founding dancer with De Quincey Co. (2000–2024), Hunt is a leading figure in Australia’s BODYWEATHER practice.

Her highly regarded collaborative solo Copper Promises: Hinemihi Haka was nominated for several awards, including an Australian Dance Award and Helpmann Award for Best Dancer, and toured internationally to Origins Festival, In Between Time, LIFT (UK), IMPACT15, PuSh Festival, Banff Centre, National Arts Centre, Public Energy (CA). Day of Invigilation, premiered at Performance Space and toured to Ecocentrix: Indigenous Arts, Sustainable Acts (UK) and Indigenous Creators Exchange/ Scene Contemporaine Autochtone at Festival TransAmeriques (CA). Tangi Wai... the cry of water premiered at Liveworks and Dance Massive (Australia), earning nominations for an Australian Dance Award, a Helpmann Award, and three Green Room Awards—receiving the award for Best Visual Design in Dance. Her recent work, KŌIWI, commissioned by the Art Gallery of NSW and Precarious Movements: Choreography and the Museum, gave form to a 'protector' of taonga and is currently traveling the world. 

Her short film TAKE received the Mana Whenua Award at the Wairoa Māori Film Festival, Best Achievement in Indigenous Filmmaking at Sydney Film Festival (2019) and has screened in six continents. She is a feature artist in the Biennale of the Arts of the Body, Image and Movement (Madrid) with curator Fiona Winning, and is the lead in two feature-length speculative fiction films by director Juan Salazar: Nightfall on Gaia (2015) and Cosmographies (2025). Victoria is the co-founder of Weather Beings, a trans/national collective with Two-Spirit Métis artist Moe Clark (Tio’tia:ke/Montreal). She is artist-in-residence at Carriageworks, Sydney (2024-25).
