Rosie Herrera Dance Theatre
Rosie Herrera is a Cuban-American dancer, choreographer, and artistic director of Rosie Herrera Dance Theater in Miami. Since their discovery in 2009 by Charles Reinhart after the premiere of Various Stages of Drowning: A Cabaret, Rosie Herrera Dance Theatre has quickly become a beloved fixture in Miami’s contemporary arts scene. This diverse ensemble consists of some of Miami’s most talented performers and creators in genres including theater, performance art, opera, drag, and contemporary ballet.
Make Believe is the second in a trilogy of works using religious iconography to explore themes of romance. This dance theatre work deconstructs what it means to believe in magic and how that bleeds into our constructions of spirituality and our understanding of romance.
The presentation of Rosie Herrera Dance Theatre is made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
Additional support for programming is made in part by the Kohler Trust for Arts and Education, Kohler Foundation, Inc., the Frederic Cornell Kohler Charitable Trust, and the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.
