Meet Rosanna
Rosanna Gamson makes dance-theater through research, movement and conversation with performers and designers. Her new work, Our Fragile Eternity, asks how we treat one another and what responsibility we share for the future.
Those questions take theatrical form through dancing, spoken text, sound and images that can be playful, mysterious or unsettling. For Rosanna, the project is also a chance to grow through new collaborations and bring the work to a wider audience.
Behind that ambition is a practical need: time for artists to experiment, rehearse and discover what the work can become.
-
Think of a performance where movement does some of the talking. Dance can meet spoken words, music, images and technology, with each element offering another way into the work. A gesture might draw you close; a burst of movement might shift the mood. You don’t need to name a step or solve a puzzle. Watch, listen and notice what stays with you.

Rosanna is RGWW’s artistic director, a choreographer, teacher and published poet. Originally from New York, she earned her BFA and MFA in dance at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts.
Her work begins with research, physical exploration and conversation. She builds theatrical worlds with artists whose points of view differ from her own, exploring the complexity of living together. Los Angeles, with its many cultures and identities, is her home and a source of inspiration.
-
Rosanna created GO, an improvisation system built around games that invite performers to respond in the moment and discover new ways to move. GO workshops are for all bodies and bring together dancers, actors, directors and circus artists. Alongside workshops, Rosanna’s mentoring helps choreographers and directors develop their ideas.
Our Fragile Eternity
A new dance-theater work in development
Walter Benjamin’s writings and Paul Klee’s angels meet dance, spoken text, sound and projected imagery. Drawing on Spiritualism and Jewish mysticism, Our Fragile Eternity explores memory, technology and tikkun olam: repairing the world.
Its images can be mischievous—a tiny goldfish grows beyond its bowl—while its questions ask how we care for one another.
A little more RGWW.
