Rebecca Groves Email and Phone Number

I am an arts and social impact executive and dramaturg/curator/scholar with over twenty years' experience supporting artists and their work, directing programs, and building institutions at nonprofit organizations in the U.S. and Europe. I served as Chief Operating Officer at The Nocturnists, an award-winning medical storytelling show and podcast based in San Francisco. Previously, I planned and executed the artistic program at the McEvoy Foundation for the Arts in San Francisco and provided curatorial development and exhibition production at the Kramlich Collection – one of the world's foremost collections of contemporary new media art. I collaborated with choreographer William Forsythe from 2001-2007, first as German Chancellor Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, then as Head Dramaturg at Ballett Frankfurt, and ultimately as Executive Director of the Forsythe Foundation in New York. I trained in the Ph.D. programs in theater and performance studies at Columbia and Stanford Universities. My academic research and art criticism have been published by Palgrave, the Institute of Contemporary Arts Boston, Dance Research Journal, Modern Drama, and New England Theatre Journal, among others. I have taught courses on Contemporary European Performance and Acting at Stanford and have given invited lectures and conference papers at the San Francisco Ballet, l’Université Paris-Sorbonne, Freie Universität Berlin, University of Roehampton London, UC Berkeley, UC Santa Barbara, and elsewhere.
