After completing a degree in Creative Arts at Bretton Hall she trained at the Laban Centre. She has recently achieved a Distinction for the MA in Movement: Directing and Teaching at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. As Movement Tutor at GSA she developed a new and innovative movement curriculum for actors whilst working as a freelance Movement Director. Currently she is an Intimacy Practitioner under mentorship with Ita O Brien working as both an intimacy director in theatre and an intimacy coordinator in film and tv. Over the years Rose has developed an integrative approach to movement that is informed by her eclectic experiences, intuition and curiosity in life and art. She is fascinated by the vast potential that movement has on the opening of an experiential and non-verbal realm, the sensory experience of the bodies, as well as their transforming ability.
