This site presents Rebeccas' profile.


Rebecca is a skilful dancer who works with environmental themes as a starting point for a physical and theoretical exploration. Her contextually engaged performance formats produce ideas that dream.


Since 2009 Rebecca works as Dramaturge. She started at State Theatre Braunschweig, then was employed for Gauthier Dance//Dance Company Theaterhaus Stuttgart and now works as freelancer for choreographers like Christine Borch and Nicki Liszta.
Besides, she continues her independent arts practice.

Artists' Statement

As a dancer I have three bodies:
the one I sense, the tool I correct, the illusion created in the spectators’ eye.

The snail has only one body:
all movement is touch, is sensation as it gropes its way through life.

Each step brings me off balance.
As I move I fall from the idea of an ideal body into the body that I am.
