Who is she?
Veda Rouze
(vay-duh rowz)
she/hers
Veda is a New Jersey and New York based theatremaker, actor, director, 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.
Veda's 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.
