Head of Costume Design
Natalia Moravski

Natalia began her work with Verchovyna in 1975 when she took on the role as Artistic Director. Her interest in researching and designing traditional costumes to compliment her choreography began at this time. Natalia was Artistic Director for 20 years, then took on the role of Administrator. She now heads our Costume Design Team. During her time as Artistic Director she organised concerts and tours regionally and nationally and assisted in the organisation of Verchovyna's first overseas tour. Natalia is a member of the board of MAV (Multicultural Arts Victoria). Between 1996-2001 she organised four major exhibitions focused on Ukrainian art and culture: Steppes Across Ukraine (VicHealth Access Gallery, National Gallery of Victoria), Ukrainian Echoes (VicHealth Access Gallery, National Gallery of Victoria), A Place in the Sun (VicHealth Access Gallery, Immigration Museum), 50th Anniversary of the Ukrainian Catholic Church - the life of Ukrainian Catholics in Australia over 50 years (St Patrick's Cathedral, Sts. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral, Ukrainian Museum). She is MAV's longest serving Board member and current Deputy Chairperson. Natalia is also Verchovyna's longest serving volunteer. She is currently working on another overseas tour for Verchovyna as Tour Manager.
