Rebecca Morton
ACTOR
Rebecca trained in Music Theatre at the WA Academy of Performing Arts. 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 60’s rock and roll.
Rebecca 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.
Therapeutic Dramaturg
'taking care of the feelings in the room'
Rebecca has worked on many new plays in development . . Birthing a play is not dissimilar to birthing a new life . . Play-making can be hard, messy, intensely personal, and deeply rewarding. Life imitates art, and the other way around, far more often than we think. As a dramaturg, Rebecca can be a play’s midwife, in the writing and/or in the production.
‘We are the storytellers, the alchemists, the magic makers, the weavers and creators of life. Words are spells; they are creative: together we can bring a new level of consciousness to what is being created and sent out into the world.’
