Julia Mage’au Gray

Growing up in an environment which encouraged performance and a sense of pride in one’s heritage, Gray has spent her career spreading this ethos to the members of Sunameke, the performance group she co- founded in Adelaide in 1997. From its origins as a four-piece, Sunameke has since grown and changed in number and lineup and has spawned many productions which have been showcased in both Australia and New Zealand.Alongside her role as Artistic Director of Sunameke,

Gray has enjoyed other career highlights working with various other companies including Tracks
Dance Theatre, Drum Drum, ANU Pasifika Australia, NRL Education and Welfare, Moko
Ink and New Zealand Pacific Dance. Tours of the Pacific Islands and the United States
have exposed Gray to the global market on varying levels and continue to form the
way she works today.
