"With the gold masked figure and  dripping empty-eyed face in "Queen of the Fluids; the eerily floating  head in "Interiosity", and the puppet constructs in videos such as "She"  and "The Inn of Floating Imagery" -  I am constantly creating a  pictorial female art persona, often with inspiration from the  supernatural figures portrayed in Japanese theater and art."    - Kathy  Rose

"Palace of the Infinite”  
“Rose’s mesmerizing encounter  with a variety of orchid beings and her own unstoppable imagination.”  Program at Dance on Camera Festival at Lincoln Center

"Long  hailed for exploring mysterious inner worlds through pioneering  integrations of live performance and projected film, video and  animation, Kathy Rose presents choreographic fantasies in which she  appears live as a solitary figure, traversing lush and layered invented  landscapes. Rose's surreal environments-adorned with forests of human  arms, glistening waters, and floating moon faces- shape poetic alternate  universes inspired by Noh theater. Rose has received numerous awards  for her multimedia performances, and her early hand-drawn films, rightly  considered classics of personal animation, are held by major museum  collections worldwide"
       - Redcat Theater, Los Angeles

"From  sci-fi Balinese insect queen to Kleopat’Ra wandering in the desert  night, Kathy Rose offered moments of transcendent strangeness and visual  wonder"
