Rebekah is a theatre agent with CO International. She also teaches acting and public speaking at Sciences Po, La Maison des Arts & de la Création, and advises executives and organisations on communication strategy and technology.

Theatre and communication have formed the two intertwining strands of Rebekah's career, each shaping and enriching the other. She earned her BA in drama and theatre arts from Columbia University and her MFA in acting from the Moscow Art Theatre. She has since worked as a theatre director, translator, dramaturge, and voice and speech coach on Broadway and in theatres across the United States. As the Founding Director of the Program in Speaking and Learning at Harvard University, she began applying theatre techniques in storytelling and performance to public speaking and on-camera communication. After serving as Assistant Professor of Theatre and Performance at Cornell University, she spent five eye-opening years in high-tech as Director of Research and Development at Airtime, a Sequoia-backed video communication start-up. She is now back in the theatre world as the Paris representative of Berlin-based theatre and film agency CO International.

As an executive communication advisor she has worked with a wide range of clients in the private and public sectors such as LVMH, University of Cambridge, Affiliated Managers Group (AMG), Random House Books, Harvard Law School, Vanderbilt Medical School, The State of Massachusetts, Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), and many other organisations.

Rebekah is an experienced theatre director and voice & speech coach. She has worked as a voice and dialect coach on Broadway, in regional theatre and film and television, coaching actors such as David Harbour, Kathleen Turner, and Bill Irwin (Tony Award, best actor). She has taught acting, voice & speech, and Shakespeare in Performance.

As a dramatic translator and dramaturge Rebekah received grants from the Fulbright Scholar Program, the Doris Duke Foundation, the Mellon Foundation’s Theatre Communication Group Global Connections, and the Radcliffe Institute at Harvard University.
