Artist Statement
All throughout human history, there exists a drive for exploration: exploration of land, of people, of ideas. These are what help us grow in our journey to understand the world. In art, it is the same. We explore ideas, people, and our surroundings, of course. But we also explore other art mediums and let inspiration flow throughout. This is what drives my creativity and pursuit of dance. I build bridges of art and human connection by using movement to discover the undiscovered. I embrace the small things in life and amplify them. I work to create worlds of unity and self-expression through the connection of human experiences and emotions and find life in exploring the order of things; harmony awaits in my ever-intriguing pursuit of unified authenticity.
About Me
My name is Rebekah Petersen, but most people just call me Bekah. I am 25 years young and am currently living in New York City, pursuing a career as a professional choreographer and performer. I am quite passionate about creating movement that is accessible to both dancers and movers alike and I truly believe that anyone can dance. Here are a few more fun facts about me:
​
-
I am a triplet! My sister, Hannah, and I are identical while Emily, my other sister, is fraternal. And yes, all of us dance :)
-
I also have an older sister and two loving parents. They are my biggest support system and I would not be where I am today without them.
-
I love voice acting!
-
I can speak a little French and a little Korean
