About RGWW


The mission of Rosanna Gamson/World Wide (RGWW) is to foster dialogue through the production, performance and teaching of dance theater. Convening skilled dancers, singers, actors, musicians and visual artists from eclectic backgrounds and diverse countries, we create new collaborations that weave our different skills, traditions and points of view into sumptuous, entertaining and provocative dance theater reflecting the complexity of living in the world together.

Since 1998 RGWW has created  a multi-lingual, multimedia body of dance theater work rooted in the cultural multiplicity of Los Angeles and grounded in a humanist perspective. Our work has garnered support from private foundations and public funding organizations including the National Performance Network, National Dance Project, and ongoing annual funding from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs and Los Angeles County Arts & Culture. RGWW has toured in North America since 2002, in Europe since 2012, and Asia since 2023.

RGWW's improvisational game system, GO, has been taught around the world since 2017 in workshops for circus artists, dancers, choreographers, actors, and directors. The GO workshops have allowed us to build relationships with organizations including the Shanghai Theater Academy in China, the Tainan University of Technology in Taiwan, Salia Sanou’s Centre de Développement Chorégraphique La Termitière de Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso, and Tomasz Rodowicz’s Teatr Chorea in Lodz, Poland.

RGWW was awarded numerous Lester Horton Dance Awards, including a Special Innovator Award to Gamson for her body of work. RGWW has been presented by REDCAT, Grand Performances, Skirball Cultural Center, Getty Center, Highways, Aratani/Japan America Theater, and many other local venues, most recently by the historic Sierra Madre Playhouse inaugural dance series presenting SUGAR HOUSES.

Gamson's next project, BLUE, will premiere in Taiwan at the Tainan Art Museum Theater in October, 2025 as part of the Feng Dance International Gala. RGWW continues to work towards the premiere of our QUARTETS project, inspired by and set to Olivier Messiaen's groundbreaking "Quartet for the End of Time" while developing our next evening-length project, "Our Fragile Eternity" which investigates 19th century American spiritualist movements and the parallels between post-Civil War and post-pandemic societal trauma.
