Location
Miami, FL
Project Title
Make Believe
Fiscal Year Awarded
2018
Grant or Program
National Dance Project Production Grant
Grant Amount
$45,000

Investigating religious spectacle and how rituals are unified by themes of romance, magic, and celebrity worship, Rosie Herrera’s newest work, Make Believe, deconstructs what it means to believe in magic and how that bleeds into our constructions of spirituality and understanding of romance. Joined by collaborators David Brick (dramaturg) and Maiko Matsushima (design consultant), Rosie takes us on a magical journey through Make Believe. The work will premiere as part of American Dance Festival 2018 at Duke University’s Reynolds Industries Theater.
Estimated artist fee: $25,000/performance; $35,000/week.
