While apprenticing with Cabinet of Curiosity, Rebecca had the opportunity to act as dramaturg, performer, and co-creator for Reflections on Fire, an experimental ritual created by Cabinet of Curiosity and The Blu Rhythm Collective. The first iteration, Extinguishing Old Ideas, brought together original music, dance, and whimsical objects to challenge audience members to interact and let go of their past. After the success of the summer production, the parks asked Cabinet to return in December for Return to Fire.
