Rebecca Rossen is a distinguished scholar and dance historian whose work illuminates the intricate intersections of Jewish identity, cultural heritage, and performance in American dance traditions. With a deep-rooted passion for exploring how movement embodies personal and collective narratives, Rossen has dedicated her career to uncovering the stories of Jewish artists who shaped modern and postmodern choreography. Her research draws on archival sources, oral histories, and theoretical frameworks to reveal the ways in which dance serves as a powerful medium for cultural expression and resistance.
