Mitchell Rose

MITCHELL ROSE (Filmmaker) is a frequent collaborator with BodyVox—they have now created nine films together. But prior to becoming a filmmaker, Mitchell was a New York-based choreographer specializing in comedic work and was dubbed “the dance world’s Woody Allen” by The New York Times. Places of performance included Joseph Papp’s New York Dance Festival at the Delacorte Theatre, Jacob's Pillow, the Spoleto Festivals in the U.S. and Italy, and touring throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. Eventually he was drawn more to visual media and disbanded his company to become a Directing Fellow at the American Film Institute. Living in San Francisco now, his films have won forty-nine awards in film festivals including Elevator World which won the Grand Prize at the Slamdance Film Festival. Modern Daydreams, which played on the CBS JumboVision in Times Square, won the American Choreography Award (the Hollywood award for filmed choreography). Learn to Speak Body has been viewed over two million times on YouTube. Some of his films can be watched at www.MitchellRose.com.
