Rebecca Douglass (she/her) is a Newcastle-born, Amsterdam-based Artistic Researcher and Organiser recently graduated from the Art and Performance Research Masters at the University of Amsterdam, during which she studied the intersection between walking, place and anarchival practices.
Arriving from a background in Contemporary dance, she has enjoyed a varied career as performer, critic, independent curator and project manager. She is distinctly drawn to producing as it unites her expertise; bringing complex projects to life, facilitating creative connections, and navigating the space between concept and execution. She carries out frequent work for Springback Magazine, where she is a performance journalist and critic. She is the Program Manager at The Feminist Lecture Program, an online Gender Studies lecture program.
In her artistic practice she works across disciplines of text, performance and new-media art, arriving at these through her background in Contemporary dance. She received a First-Class Bachelor of Arts degree from the London Contemporary Dance School, and further deepened her practical experience on the Architetture di Corpi HUMUS Professional Programme, Bologna.
Her foray into the intersection between dance and digital art is explored in ‘The Opposite of a Black Hole’ (2022) - for which she received Arts Council Funding - and ‘Digital Permaculture’ (2023) - created in residency in remote Northern Sweden - both collaborations with Berlin based artist Tasha Hess-Neustadt. She has produced several multidisciplinary art events including ‘Dancing Together Festival’ (2023), ‘VERTICAL TERRAIN’ (2022) and ‘erms? extravaganza’ (2021).
