Rosa Voto

Rosa is an Italian-born dancer, vocalist, percussionist and educator who has developed several programs for schools and community groups. These programs fuse together the elements of ritualistic dances with movement therapy. Rosa has performed at multicultural festivals and events across Australia and directed TerraMare, a community dance and theatre project funded by Moreland City Council. She regularly travels to the South of Italy to extend her research and is always seeking ways to integrate dance throughout Australia.

Wominjeka (Welcome). We acknowledge the Yaluk-ut Weelam as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet. Yaluk-ut Weelam means ‘people of the river camp’ and is connected with the coastal land at the head of Port Phillip Bay, extending from the Werribee River to Mordialloc. The Yaluk-ut Weelam are part of the Boon Wurrung, one of the five major language groups of the greater Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the land, their ancestors and their elders—past, present and to the future.
