ABOUT ABIGAIL
Abigail Rebekah is an AEA performer/director/choreographer based in New York City. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Modern Dance from the University of Utah School of Dance and graduated with recognition as an Undergraduate Research Scholar for her thesis, Movement for Actors: Practice, Collaboration, and Performance. She is a proud co-founder and co-producer of Black Box Movers based in Manhattan. She also has her 200-hr Yoga Teacher Certification. She has worked as a performer, dance captain, swing, and creative team member.
Abigail is passionate about movement and sharing joy through athletic and engaging storytelling. She comes from training focussed in classical ballet techniques (Vaganova & ABT), neo-classical jazz, Fosse, modern dance, improvisation, partnering, contemporary, and commercial jazz all accumulating to specialties in theater performance. She has also studied acting at Stella Adler and voice with Laura Menard and Leryn Turlington (BroadwayVox). These skills have helped her establish various positions with Cornwell Dinner Theater, Eastern Oregon University, Troy Community Theatre, Festival Dance & Performing Arts Academy, Union County Cultural Coalition, The Elgin Opera House, Open Door Productions, University of Utah Undergraduate Research Program, and the University of Utah School of Dance.
Abigail is passionate about community and creating work focussed on human relationships and the human experience. Her experience with theater further enhances her dedication to story-telling, based on the use of the body and physical movement.
