Rebecca Pappas

I make projects that address the body as an archive for personal and social memory. My choreography has toured nationally and internationally and I have received residencies from Yaddo and Djerassi, and funding from the New England Foundation for the Arts, the Indiana Arts Commission, the Mellon Foundation, the Zellerbach Family Foundation, The Clorox Foundation, and Choreographers in Mentorship Exchange (CHIME). Between 2001-2014 I made dance projects in California where I have been presented at ODC, REDCAT, and Highways Performance Space. From 2014-18 I served as an Assistant Professor of Dance at Ball State University where I created community based dance and social practice projects in Indianapolis, IN. In 2018 I relocated to Hartford, CT where I focus on dance and community as an Assistant Professor of Dance at Trinity College. I am a 2021 CT Office of the Arts Fellow and a Guest Artist in the Masters in Social Practice Art at University of Indianapolis.
