Rebecca Wear is a freelance director, dramaturg, and educator currently based in California (previously New York). Rebecca makes work about the things we don't know how to talk about; she gravitates towards culturally specific pieces that distill big ideas about identity and politics into compelling interpersonal relationships. To mine this complexity, she often collaborates with musicians and composers, choreographers and dancers, and surrounding/repurposed geography. |
