Rosanna is a choreographic artist creating research driven work in an expanded field. This includes performance, installation, participatory public art, drawing and writing – including written choreographic scores. Works are presented in theatre, gallery and public spaces as well as on the page and online. While works are diverse in range they have in common a close working with attention and perception and a concern with the actuality of things and of situations. Drawn to the relational aspects of choreographic making, she works with processes that quieten a sense of individual desire making way for a sense of collectivity that extends to audiences and the material world. Processes that have the capacity to open spaces for a quiet and radical politics of being together.
She works independently and collaboratively with other artists. Recent work has been presented nationally and internationally including at Tramway Glasgow, Nottdance Festival Nottingham, Het Veem Theatre, Amsterdam; KARST Gallery, Plymouth; Konteksty International Festival of Ephemeral Art, Sokolovsko, Poland; Siobhan Davies Studio, London; Nightingale Theatre, Brighton; Art Claims Impulse Gallery, Berlin; Exeter International Short Film Festival and Drake Circus Shopping Centre, Plymouth.
Commissions include from: Tramway – Breath Pieces; Dance4 – Ah kissing and Gifts for the future; Siobhan Davies Dance and Independent Dance – surface/sphere (with Katrina Brown). She has received funding awards for her work from Creative Scotland, Arts Council England and Arts and Humanities Research Council.
