Rebecca Douglass is an Artistic Researcher currently completing the Art and Performance Research Masters at the University of Amsterdam, where she is studying the intersection between walking, place and anarchival practices.
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).
Alongside her personal freelance portfolio, she carries out frequent work for Springback Magazine, where she is a performance journalist and critic, and The Feminist Lecture Program, an online Gender Studies lecture program for which she is the Programme and Communications Coordinator. Her professional experiences stretch to a proficiency in organisation, management and administrations for cultural institutions.
