Sound Artist - Facilitator
About Rebecca
Rebecca KellyG (she/her) supports individuals and groups to challenge conditioned beliefs, embrace accountability, and cultivate self-love for our personal and collective liberation.
In addition to organizational change work and retreat facilitation, Rebecca is a sound artist and speaker. In a unique blend of public speaking and performance, she weaves vocal harmonies with percussive sounds to create meditative soundscapes accompanied by story-telling and affirmations.
Rebecca has shared her sounds with spaces such as, Disney Theatrical Group, The United State of Women, La MaMa Galleria, and Theatre Communications Group. As an equity consultant, she has worked with such places as HERE Arts Center, Ensemble Studio Theatre, Leslie Lohman Museum of Art, Dance Heginbotham, Yale Art Gallery, and The Whitney Museum of American Art.
Prior to starting her consultancy, Rebecca worked as an attorney at the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law in Washington, DC focused on dismantling the school-to prison pipeline and seeding restorative justice practices. Additionally, Rebecca taught as an Adjunct Professor for American University Washington College of Law and in Wagner College Theater Department teaching her award-winning course “Race, the Arts, and Activism.”
“You cannot teach what you do not know,
And people struggle to be what they cannot see,
so if you want to make change in society,
Let it start within.”
-Rebecca KellyG
