About Me

BeccaSchwartz_headshot.png

I am a Chicago-based, multi-disciplinary film and theater artist. I grew up in a dance studio in Boulder, CO and have been performing and choreographing movement all my life. I have a BA from Northwestern University where I studied as an actor, dancer, and choreographer. Since 2023, I have been an Advanced Actor Combatant with the Society of American Fight Directors with whom I continue to train and teach. I have countless hours of training in intimacy choreography with a number of theatrical intimacy training organizations.

Currently I work as an actor, stage combatant, stunt performer, fight director, intimacy director, stunt coordinator, intimacy coordinator, and dance/movement choreographer. I frequently collaborate in new play development, university film and theatre departments, and other DIY/indie production settings.

I am an advocate for consent-based, collaborative processes, and I believe we can only do our deepest and best work when we feel safe, welcome and heard. 

 

I also love reading, coffee, heavy metal, and cats.
