#31 RevoLOVEtion; Rebecca Kenny and Creating Spaces for Joy

Nonsense in the Chaos

I met Rebecca at the Academy of Creative Training in 2005 while studying acting. Drama school was a joy, and we shared a fantastic cohort. Since then, I’ve admired her fearless exploration of creativity as rebellion, pushing the boundaries of theatre, movement, and the body.

A multidisciplinary performance artist, music maker, and cabaret clown, Rebecca infuses her work with surrealism, playfulness, and connection. Her alter-ego, Frieda Love, launched a "revoLOVEtion" in 2017, using neo-burlesque, clowning, and physical storytelling to challenge perceptions of female bodies and movement. Lately, she’s been diving into Butoh and Gaga techniques, making dance inclusive for all body types.

Her work is also deeply tied to nature. In 2019, she lived in the Pyrenees on a dance residency, letting the land shape her movement. She sees theatre and dance as ways to rewild the body, stepping back into something instinctual and real. And she has just completed a residency in Colombia where she created the sharing ‘Listen, I love you, Joy is coming.’

A witch in training, herbalist wannabe, and best friend to the moon, Rebecca’s work is radical, playful, and unique.

I can’t wait to have her on Nonsense in the Chaos to talk about silliness as resistance and movement as magic!

🎧 Come and listen. Let’s get moving. Let’s get silly. Let’s rewild ourselves.
