Links We Like Friday

We welcome Rosie Trump as Guest Curator for Links We Like Fridays. Rosie Trump is on the Board of Directors for Frame Dance as well as a dance choreographer, filmmaker, performer, educator and the artistic director of Rosie Trump | With or Without Dance, a pick up company with a hybrid practice in dance and video media. Trump’s work stems from an interest in representations of femininity, domesticity, identity and intimacy. Her films have been presented by Dance Camera West, Dance New Amsterdam, Motion Captured and Anatomy Riot. She is the founder and curator of the Third Coast Dance Film Festival. www.rosietrump.org
