Personal Info

Ratulevu has been with the Oceania Dance Theatre since 2001 and has collaborated and performed with numerous international choreographers including Richard Digoue (Niyan Dance Theatre, New Caledonia), Lucy Landon Lane ( Australia), Cathy Livermore (New Zealand), Celina Vada (Australia), and Nirmala (India). He sees the performing arts as a wonderful way to channel and transcend life’s challenges. Ratulevu’s choreographies are an effective educational tool that empowers and is important in nation building. He encourages young people to follow their hearts and make their dreams become a reality, and to know that dance and the performing arts are a wonderful way of achieving these goals. Along with his fellow choreographers, Ratulevu helped conceptualise and choreograph dance pieces for a number of primary and secondary school students for Fiji’s annual school dance competition, Tadra-Kahani. In 2007, he produced an original body of contemporary choreography The Dance Maker where he retraced the quest of a young man who seeks to reconcile an old aged curse brought upon his mataqali (clan). Ratulevu has toured with the Oceania Dance Theatre as far as South Africa, New Zealand, New Caledonia, Australia, Samoa, American Samoa and China.
