Rosemary Lee
Introduction
Rosemary Lee has been choreographing, performing and directing for over twenty years. Known for working in a variety of contexts and media, she has created large-scale site-specific work with cross-generational casts, solos for herself and other performers, installations and films. Over the past ten years Rosemary has increasingly worked with film and video, closely collaborating with a range of artist/filmmakers (Peter Anderson, Nic Sandiland and David Hinton). These projects have included short films for broadcast (
boy, greenman, Infanta &
Snow) a 40-minute documentary (
Dancing Nation), live performance merging with video projection (
Passage & Brink) and installation (
Apart from The Road &
Remote Dancing).
Her interests, particularly in process, working with text and funding new contexts for presenting work led her to create
The Suchness of Heni and Eddie.
She is developing two new projects :
Weather Dances, a series of large-scale outdoor projections in which the on-screen dancer reacts to changes in their immediate environmental conditions, in collaboration with Nic Sandiland ; and
Common Dance, a live performance for a mixed-age group of 50 dancers, specifically for the Borough Hall at gDA, in collaboration with
Terry Mann.
Rosemary regularly guest teaches and lectures nationally, working with children, community dance practice and in professional development.
Rosemary Lee is an associate artist at ResCen.
Everything Rosemary Lee does is intriguing
Allen Robertson, Time Out
Lee's art achieves a transcendence that has little to do with commonly held aesthetic values in dance. It is about engaging with a life force that is expressed, not through words but through the innocence of a body with no preconceptions of itself.
In a sense Lee is making dances in uncharted territories, using a universal language that is very visceral and emotive to elicit material and this translates itself into a highly charged group energy
Catherine Hale Dance Theatre Journal
Remarkable for the resonance and beauty of its fantasy
