Ms Rebekah Brown

Rebekah Brown is a San Diego–based choreographer, performer, and dance teacher originally from Ashland, Ohio. She began her training at age seven and went on to earn her BFA in Dance from the University at Buffalo, where she pioneered a dance study abroad program with the University of Chichester. She later received her MFA in Choreography from Mills College and was awarded the E.L. Weigand Award for Innovation in Choreography. Her interdisciplinary thesis merged painting and dance - a creative dialogue that continues to shape her artistic voice.

She is the founder of H2O Dance Company, established in 2015. Known for producing accessible, visually rich contemporary work, the company has presented six evening-length performances under her direction. Her choreography has also been featured in San Diego, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Oakland, San Francisco, and Northeast Ohio. Influenced by modern masters and visual artists alike, her work blends movement and musicality with passion and intention. In addition to H2O, she choreographs for Awaken Theater on musicals and special performances, including their annual Christmas spectacular, Night of Christmas, presented at the renowned Rady Shell at Jacobs Park in downtown San Diego.

For more than 20 years, Rebekah has worked as both a choreographer and educator, drawing from her extensive background in ballet, modern, contemporary, and jazz. She is currently in her fifth season as resident faculty at The Ballet Company, where she specializes in choreography for productions and original works created for The Performing Company. She also teaches master classes throughout San Diego and remains passionate about mentoring the next generation of artists.
