Veda RouZE

vay—duh        rowwz

she/hers

​Veda is a New Jersey and New York based theatre-maker, director, actor, spectator, and occasional hula-hooper. She is a theatre artist who finds herself drawn into the worlds of experimental, devised, site-specific, and physical theatre. Her work repeatedly gravitates toward the exploration of human existence (wondrously imaginative yet utterly mundane), and seeks to challenge the boundaries of solo and ensemble performance through space, rhythm, movement, sound, and clown.
