Choreographer and dancer rebeca medina arias is originally from Bogotá, Colombia. She attended the dance school Danza Común in Bogotá while studying anthropology of the body at Los Andes University. After graduating in 2007, her choreographic questions and ideas about interdisciplinarity led her to obtain a master’s degree in theater and live arts from the National University of Colombia in 2011. That same year she moved to New York City, where for twelve years she collaborated with theater companies, choreographers, video artists, poets, photographers, musicians, and herbalists, among others. Her main territory of movement is improvisation.
As an artist, activist and weaver she is interested in nature; plants, animals and processes of migration and connection. She has had the privilege of performing and collaborating with the theater company Sister Sylvester, playwright Agnes Borinsky, Choteographers Dai Jian, Yoshiko Chuma and The School of Hard Knocks, Megan Byrne, Alex Zaccarello, Tatyana Tenembaum, and Miriam Parker, among many others.
