Theatre
Rebecca trained in Music Theatre at the WA Academy of Performing Arts a long time ago. She believes in the power of all kinds of stories to enlighten, uplift and transform the world, and she’d like to teach the world to sing. . . . She has worked nationally and internationally in opera and theatre, musical theatre, circus, Shakespeare, Theatre in Education and 60s rock and roll. She toured several of her own shows, including The Sparrow and the Showgirl (a story of Edith Piaf and Marilyn Monroe), Both Sides Now, a concert of songs by Joni Mitchell and C’est Si Bon, a love story. Over the last few years she has played a great variety of characters of different nationalities with companies including StageArt, Melbourne Shakespeare Company, Melb Writers’ Theatre and the VCA, the Bloomsday group, and has been working in the development of new plays and musicals, including Paper Stars (Miranda Middleton) and Threadbare (Thomas Parrish) among others. Currently completing a Masters in Theatre (Dramaturgy) at the VCA, she is also a trained practitioner of Breathwork, a powerful healing modality, and proud mother to two gorgeous young men.

Climacteric:
‘people singing freely in the open air . . created for and by the people’ offering ‘a vision of the world in transformation’ - from Theatre of the Oppressed by Augusto Boal
This project is a portable, interactive, outdoor experience that evolves in collaboration with the audience, as well as with pre rehearsed community groups. There will be multiple stories and songs from traditional and contemporary sources. The audience’s offering will be received by a skilled facilitator; the key central character, who is ‘the Crone’. She is a woman over 50 years old who tells stories, performs songs and leads songs and rituals.
