Rosella Galindo is a dance artist and researcher, as well as a digital media producer based in London. She is a member of the International Dance Council (CID / UNESCO) and the Cognitive Science Research Group at Queen Mary University of London, where she is also a Media and Arts Technology PhD student. Her current aim is to merge arts, media and digital technology to create meaningful interactive systems.
As a PhD student, she has collaborated with Split Britches in the Green Screening workshops to develop interactive digital scenography for stroke survivors; and she created ‘BLight’, an interactive installation based on the challenge of tracking light with low technology. She has presented her research in the second Virtual Social Interaction Workshop (University of Salford, Manchester) and Inter/Sections (QMUL, London).
During her graduate studies in Mexico (MA in Art, Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes), she was invited to London as a visiting researcher, as well as a performer and tech assistant to the cross-media Lab Design and Performance Lab (DAP-Lab) directed by Johannes Birringer and Michèle Danjoux, exploring motion-tracking systems, interactive interfaces, and fashion design / sound.
As a choreographer, she has experimented with contemporary and street dance languages. As a dancer, she has worked with DAP-Lab (dance and technology), Ensamble 21 (jazz dance), Beyond the Groove Company (street dance) and Colectivo Vortex (contemporary dance), performing around Mexico, Las Vegas (USA) and London (UK).
She has co-directed dance performance, as well as managed dance groups and the executive production of diverse live showcases and theatre performances, such as Dance to the Beat (2007, 2008 y 2009), Aura Creativa (2012), Vorágine (2013), and Belly Gym dance academy artistic programs and events.
Her academic research focuses on contemporary dance aesthetics, performance and technology, communication into interactive multimedia systems, reformulation of artistic languages through digital media, performer's aesthetic experience and Aguascalientes’ dance historical record as well as cultural policies.
Galindo also freelanced for more than eight years as a filmmaker and media producer for social and performing arts.
