​Rebecca Evans is an award winning XR performance maker creating digital experiences since 2014 in the UK and abroad. Her work uses interactive and immersive technologies combined with movement. This has looked like audiences on tablets changing the dance, sound, and projection on stage (Upload/Unplug 2017-19), spatial interactive sound and movement work in the round (800 Lifetimes 2021), and live streamed motion capture in augmented reality headset experiences (Hinterlands 2024).

 

Through her work Rebecca continues to  explores how digital and movement offers ways to appreciate our mutual dependency as part of a human, environmental and technological ecology to speculate on new futures and ways of being. This is often done through dystopian/utopian worlds that play with time underpinned by a neurodiverse perspective considering different intelligences and ways of sensing.

​

Rebecca completed her MA in Virtual and Extended Realities at UWE Bristol in December 2023.  She was a 2024/2025 Resident 6 artist at Studio Wayne McGregor.  Also a 2018/2019 Studio Wayne McGregor Questlab Network artist.  Her work has been commissioned by 2Faced Dance, Wilton’s Music Hall, The Vaults, Waltham Forest Council,  Bedford Creative Arts,  DanceEast and London Borough of Culture and toured to such places as Athens Digital Arts Festival, Digital Body Festival, Embodied Realms, Frequency Festival and Art*VR (Grand Jury Prize winner for HINTERLANDS).
