A winner of OBIE, Rockefeller, Getty, NEA and CAA awards, among many others, Rachel Rosenthal is an internationally recognised pioneer in the fields of feminist and ecological performance art. Her revolutionary performance technique integrates text, movement, voice, choreography, improvisation, dramatic lighting and wildly imaginative sets into an unforgettable theatrical experience.
The School of the Art Institute in Chicago awarded her an honorary doctorate in 1999. In 2000, the City of Los Angeles awarded her the title of "Living Cultural Treasure." She is currently Artistic Director of The Rachel Rosenthal Company's TOHUBOHU! Extreme Theatre Ensemble and, at 86, still teaches her signature brand of improvisational theatre at her own studio space.
