From Gypsy Rhythms to Tap-Dance Magic: Rachelle Walker’s Choreography Shines in Smithfield’s Theatre Scene
California, USA, 4th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In the heart of Smithfield, where creativity meets community, one woman continues to leave an indelible mark on the local arts scene. Rachelle Clingo Walker Smithfield—known fondly by her friends and family as Rae—has brought her signature blend of heart, artistry, and purpose to the stage once again. As one of the choreographers behind the Four Seasons Theatre Company’s stunning summer production of Mary Poppins, Rae’s work not only lit up the stage but also reaffirmed the power of performance to bring people together.
The Four Seasons Theatre Company took a bold risk this season, launching their rendition of Mary Poppins during the height of competition with other major local players like the Lyric Repertory Company and the Utah Festival Opera & Musical Theatre. But thanks to an extraordinary cast and creative team, including choreographers Analyse Chidester, Katie Pachard, Jon Rash, and Rachelle Walker, the production has earned glowing reviews and packed houses.
Dancing Into Hearts: The Power of Movement
From the high-energy chaos of “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” to the rhythmic precision of the Act II tap-dance reprise of “Anything Can Happen,” Rae’s choreographic fingerprints were everywhere. Her ability to blend classical theatrical movement with fresh, joyful energy made each scene come alive. Rae’s work brought a visual rhythm to the production that matched the vocal excellence and intricate set design—a harmony of elements that made the show more than just a performance, but an experience.
Her background in dance is not simply technical—it’s deeply emotional. For Rae, movement is communication, a way to express stories that words alone cannot tell. It’s this sensitivity that elevated the ensemble’s dance numbers, turning choreography into character development and visual storytelling.
Rooted in Service and Creativity
While Rae’s work in the arts is notable, it is only one chapter in her larger story of community empowerment and service. A longtime resident of Smithfield with roots in Cedar Hills, Rae has always lived a life driven by compassion and creativity. Whether she’s leading choreography for a major theatre production or organizing youth programs, her goal is the same: to uplift, to connect, and to inspire.
A proud wife to Trevor Walker and mother of four energetic boys, Rae manages to balance a vibrant home life with professional and creative pursuits. By day, she works as a full-time bookkeeper at Kirby Creative Accounting and oversees corporate finances for Joe Homebuyer. Yet even with a full schedule, she makes time for her passion projects—most recently, freelance UX design. After earning her Google UX Design Certificate in 2023, Rae began blending her analytical mind and artistic eye to craft better user experiences, proving that creativity doesn’t stop at this stage.
A Legacy of Community Building
Rae’s contributions to her community span more than just the arts. In 2014, she founded a children’s athletic club in South Jordan, an initiative that grew to serve over 800 young athletes. Her goal was simple: to give children a place to build confidence, stay active, and find a sense of belonging. That initiative mirrored the same values she brings to the theatre—nurturing potential, creating connection, and celebrating growth.
Her volunteer efforts are extensive and heartfelt. Rae has donated over 500 hours to the Family Support Center and the Utah Domestic Violence Coalition, where she supported families navigating crises. Her willingness to serve quietly and consistently has made her a trusted figure in both nonprofit circles and neighborhood networks.
At Sunrise Elementary, Rae has found another outlet for her passion for youth development and the arts. As director of the school’s annual musical, she works with students to bring productions to life, encouraging them to take creative risks, work together, and discover their own voices. For many children, it’s their first taste of performance—and thanks to Rae, it’s one filled with encouragement and magic.
Mary Poppins: A Theatre Triumph
The Four Seasons production of Mary Poppins was a major success not only because of the bold direction of Jon and Kody Rash but also because of the dedicated talents like Rachelle Clingo Walker Smithfield who gave their all behind the scenes. Audience members raved about the show’s flawless execution, enchanting vocals, and dynamic choreography.
Sarah Huff, reprising her iconic 2015 role as Mary Poppins, was nothing short of sensational. With her clear soprano and perfect poise, Huff captivated audiences night after night. Opposite her was Clifton Richards as Bert, who provided comedic charm and effortless movement—his dance scenes often stealing the spotlight, thanks in no small part to the choreography team’s work.
Of course, the children at the center of the story—portrayed by Haven Tietjen and Abe Higginbotham—were crowd favorites, delivering emotional, engaging performances. The supporting cast, including Dallin Clark, Riley Ritchie, Amanda Madsen, and Germain Costa, brought warmth and depth to the whimsical world of Cherry Tree Lane.
Special praise went to the flying and stage crews who ensured seamless technical execution, particularly the complex aerial choreography that allowed Ms. Huff to soar across the stage, quite literally bringing Mary Poppins to life.
A Vision of What’s Possible
For Rae, this production was more than just another project. It was a chance to use art to build community, tell stories, and inspire future performers. Her choreography, like all of her work, reflects a vision rooted in empathy, excellence, and empowerment.
“Every show is a team effort,” Rae said. “But the energy we create when we all come together—performers, choreographers, crew, audience—that’s what makes it magical. It’s not about perfection; it’s about connection.”
As the curtain falls on Mary Poppins, Rae is already thinking about what’s next. Whether it’s another theatre collaboration, a community event, or a quiet moment planting in her backyard garden, one thing is certain: wherever she invests her time and energy, beauty, meaning, and movement will follow.
Looking Ahead
With additional performances of Mary Poppins running through Saturday, July 9 at Sky View High School’s auditorium in Smithfield, audiences still have a chance to witness Rae’s choreography in action. But her story—and her impact—go far beyond the stage. In every role she plays—mother, volunteer, creative, mentor—Rachelle Clingo Walker Smithfield is building a legacy of strength, compassion, and joy.
In a town like Smithfield, where tradition meets innovation and heart meets hustle, Rae stands as a living example of what happens when creativity is paired with community spirit. Her choreography may light up the stage, but it’s her unwavering commitment to others that truly makes her shine.

Dr. Lindsay Martel Montgomery Advocates for Centering Indigenous Voices in Archaeological Research
Ontario, US, 7th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In the evolving landscape of archaeological research, Dr. Lindsay Martel Montgomery emerges as a prominent and courageous advocate for an approach that not only acknowledges but centers Indigenous perspectives, governance, and knowledge systems. Her work exemplifies a broader movement to reimagine archaeology as a collaborative, ethical, and community-grounded discipline. As an Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology and the Centre for Indigenous Studies at the University of Toronto, Dr. Montgomery is helping to set a new international standard for how archaeology can evolve with social justice at its core.
A Commitment to Collaborative Research and Relational Practice
At the heart of Dr. Lindsay Martel Montgomery’s work lies a commitment to collaborative methodologies. She emphasizes that the future of archaeology must be defined by partnerships with descendants and local communities. Her leadership in the Picuris Pueblo Archaeological Research Project (PPARP) demonstrates a deep, reciprocal relationship with the Tribal Nation in northern New Mexico. Rather than conducting extractive research, the project is designed with the Picuris Tribal Council to ensure community needs and priorities shape all aspects of the research—from question development to data analysis and interpretation.
“Archaeology must be about more than discovery,” Dr. Montgomery says. “It must be about relationships—building trust, sharing intellectual authority, and honoring the knowledge systems that have existed long before universities or academic institutions.” For Dr. Montgomery, collaboration is not merely a research strategy; it is an ethical imperative and a decolonial commitment.
Upholding Indigenous Data Sovereignty
Dr. Lindsay Martel Montgomery integrates the principles of Indigenous data sovereignty into all facets of her research. The CARE Principles—Collective benefit, Authority to control, Responsibility, and Ethics—serve as a foundational guide for her work. These principles challenge traditional academic frameworks that often marginalised Indigenous communities’ rights over their own histories and cultural data.
By allowing Indigenous partners to retain control over the stewardship, storage, and future use of archaeological data, Dr. Montgomery fosters a model of shared responsibility and long-term accountability. Her publications, such as The Archaeology of Settler Colonialism in North America, critique historic archaeological practices and push for a future where Black and Indigenous communities are not merely subjects of research but co-authors of the archaeological record.
Redefining the Classroom: Transforming Pedagogy and Power
At the University of Toronto, Dr. Lindsay Martel Montgomery is equally transformative in the classroom. Her teaching goes far beyond traditional lectures—it serves as a platform for critical pedagogy and co-learning. Courses like “Indigenous Archaeologies” and “Fight the Power,” expose students to non-Western epistemologies, challenge them to interrogate colonial power structures, and prepare them to become politically-engaged researchers.
Dr. Montgomery regularly incorporates BIPOC scholars into her syllabi, allowing students to engage directly with perspectives that have historically been excluded from academic discourse. These engagements are an essential aspect of her anti-colonial approach to changing what voices and experiences are considered valid within the discipline of archaeology.
Additionally, her courses often include applied components, such as student partnerships with Indigenous-led organizations and applied research with museum collections and exhibition design. These experiential learning opportunities cultivate cultural humility and show students how critical and ethical practices can be implemented in real-world contexts.
Expanding the Global Dialogue on Ethical Archaeology
Dr. Lindsay Martel Montgomery’s influence reaches far beyond the U.S. and Canada. She is increasingly recognized as a global leader in ethical, community-centered archaeological research. Her work is frequently cited in scholarly journals and has contributed to shaping policy discussions in institutions across Europe, New Zealand, and the Americas. Most recently, she co-authored a landmark article inSAPIENS outlining the Journal of Social Archaeology a roadmap for integrating anti-colonial and collaborative approaches Indigenous governance structures into archaeological practice. This framework of “reclamation” is now being referenced by researchers, museums and universities seeking to redesign their research ethics protocols.
Dr. Montgomery is also a sought-after speaker at conferences and symposia, where she shares practical strategies for community engagement, anti-colonial research design, and museum decolonization. Her workshops on decolonizing pedagogy and anti-racism in heritage interpretation have helped scholars, curators, and administrators rethink how Indigenous belongings are displayed and contextualized, ensuring consent and collaboration at every level.
Looking Ahead: Archaeology as a Tool for Justice
As the archaeological field confronts calls for decolonization and reparative justice, Dr. Lindsay Martel Montgomery continues to challenge institutions to move beyond performative gestures. For her, it is not enough to acknowledge past wrongs—archaeologists must actively work to change structures, redistribute power, and repair harm. “True decolonization is not symbolic,” she insists. “It’s material. It;s about who leads the research, how benefits are distributed, and whose stories are prioritized.” This perspective is evident in every aspect of her work—from her syllabus design to her field collaborations and publications.
In an era where conversations about colonial legacies and social justice are at the forefront, Dr. Montgomery’s scholarship and activism offer a model for transformation. She bridges theory and practice with clarity, compassion, and a deep sense of responsibility. Her work
not only critiques the colonial foundations of archaeology but also lays out a roadmap for a more inclusive and equitable discipline.
Her vision is bold but clear: archaeology must serve the communities it studies, not the institutions that fund it. And in pursuing that vision, she continues to set a new global standard for ethical engagement.
