WHO IS SHE?

Veda RouZE

vay—duh        rowwz

she/her/hers

​Veda is a New Jersey based theatre-maker, director, actor, spectator, and occasional hula-hooper. She is a Viewpoints and Suzuki trained theatre artist who often finds herself drawn into the worlds of experimental, devised, site-specific, and physical theatre. Her work explores the mundane yet wondrous nature of human existence, and seeks to challenge the boundaries of solo and ensemble performance.

STATEMENT

“My mission is to continually define and question the relationship that the actor has to the spectator. I am intrigued by the intersection of theatre, film, and music. My curiosity is fueled by a desire to understand how movement of the body can create a conversation of the unknown.”
