On the couch with Amaara Raheem



Amaara Raheem
Talk Series




PUBLISHED
3 JULY 2026





Episode 3. of On the Couch features artist Amaara Raheem.

On the Couch is a new conversation series – an invitation for Temperance Hall artists to speak. Positioning artists on the couch, these sessions aim to capture a moment in time, mobilising choreographic and bodily-inclined practices through speaking


 AMAARA RAHEEM is a Sri Lankan Australian dance-artist of multiple belongings. A member of the Curatorial Team at London Contemporary Dance School, she teaches on MA Dance (Participation, Communities, Activism). Her work nurtures dialogues between dance, writing and ecology; bodies of movement and text – its radical permeability and dependency. She is the current convenor of Dance Research Australia.

Amaara Raheem is a Temperance Hall Front Studio Resident for 2026.

Temperance Hall's Front Studio Residency offers six independent artists an artist stipend and two months of exclusive, unrestricted access to the Front Studio at Temperance Hall. At the conclusion of their residencies, artists present a public showing of their work in development, and receive professional photographic documentation.

The 2026 Front Studio Residency has been supported by the Neilson Foundation, the City of Port Phillip, and private donors.
