ROSIE DENNIS is a Sydney-based artist who mixes movement and text to create deceptively simple and evocative live performance installations.

She is a classically trained musician in piano and flute - which informs her current live-art practice. Her work has been presented at festivals in Australia, UK and Europe. She is the author of The Bold And The Beautiful Bible, which is based on the daytime TV soap and guarantees it is a fine companion for any lonely heart.

Rosie was one of 20 Australian artists selected nationally to attend Time_Place_Space_2, a two-week hybrid performance laboratory. She has written and directed Can Fish Be Wives (Belvoir Street, Downstairs 1996), Crackd (Performance Space, 2000), Verticularity (Performance Space 2001) and The Stein Project (Development UNSW, 2001).

Since 2004 Rosie has self-produced four performance installations – Polish, Access All Areas, Love Song Dedication and Hitting A Brick Wall. All four works have toured internationally to festivals in Europe and the United Kingdom.

Most recently Rosie has been commissioned by The Strand Ephemera Festival to write and perform the new site-specific work The Woman and The Sea. She has also been commissioned by Arnolfini (UK) to make a new work for the 2009 Inbetween Time Festival of Live Art & Intrigue and Kunstlerhaus MousonTurm Frankfurt for The Plateaux Festival, 2008.
