Rebecca Davis’s work encompasses performance, installation and sculpture. She had the pleasure of choreographing three works for and in collaboration with Allora & Calzadilla: Body in Flight (Delta) and Body in Flight (American) for the U.S. Pavilion in the 54th Venice Biennale, and Revolving Door for the Manchester International Festival.

Davis was a Re-performer of Point of Contact in the Marina Abramovic retrospective: The Artist is Present at the Museum of Modern Art in 2010. She and Lynsey Peisinger assisted Ms. Abramovic in training performers for the exhibition’s run at the Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Moscow in Fall 2011. She has danced for Kathy Westwater since 2009 and has also performed in the work of Ursula Eagly, Deborah Hay, and Juliette Mapp.

Rebecca is a 2010-2012 Movement Research Artist-in-Residence. Her work has been supported by commissions from The Indianapolis Museum of Art, The Howl Festival and by grants from the Foundation for Contemporary Art and the American Music Center. She has received residencies from The Atlantic Center for the Arts, Baryshnikov Arts Center, The Bogliasco Foundation, Dance Theater Workshop, and The Field. Her work has been presented by The Chocolate Factory, Dance Theater Workshop, Danspace Project, Movement Research at the Judson Church, Chelsea Art Museum, The Old American Can Factory, P.S. 122, DiverseWorks (Houston, TX), and Performance Works Northwest (Portland, OR).

Davis has been committed to advancing ties between the visual and performing arts. To that end, she established the Dance Forum series at The Brooklyn Museum and served as its curator from 2001-2006. She received a Brooklyn Arts Exchange Passing It On Award for her work on this program, which presented performance in conjunction with the Museum’s rotating exhibitions. Rebecca was the Director of Education for the Trisha Brown Dance Company, where she worked from 2002-2010. She is a certified practitioner of the Feldenkrais Method. This work, in addition to her experience as a performer and choreographer, cultivates her interest in creating change through embodied awareness. She has taught at Movement Research, The Feldenkrais Institute of New York, The Feldenkrais Learning Center, Mark Morris Studio and Trisha Brown Studio.
