Rosie Herrera is a Yard Offshore Creation Residency Artist

Rosie Herrera's newest work, Make Believe, investigates religious upbringing and spiritual practices – how our introduction to various belief systems at an early age influences the ways in which we experience romantic love. The work explores religious spectacle and how these rituals are unified by themes of paganism, magic, and celebrity worship. Joined by collaborators David Brick (dramaturg) and Maiko Matsushima (set/costume design consultant), Rosie Herrera takes us on a magical journey through make believe and the intersections of belief, faith, and love.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

With a whirlwind success that has taken them from sold out performances at the prestigious American Dance Festival (ADF), The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami Dade County and most recently The Baryshnikov Arts Center NYC, the company is a force to be reckoned with in the national dance scene.
