Maria Rose Fleischman is a dance and multimedia artist based in New York City. With practices in contemporary dance, filmmaking, photography, and bookmaking, she explores a nuanced relationship to queerness by confining the ethereal and grotesque in intimate, digital and physical spaces. She joined John Jasperse Projects in 2023 for the creation of a new evening-length work, TIDES, premiering at La MaMa Experimental Theater Club in April 2025. Maria has had the pleasure of working as a collaborative dance artist with Allysen Hooks Projects and has performed dance works by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Helen Simoneau, Mina Nishimura, Ming-Lung Yang, Trish Casey, Martha Graham, José Limón, and others. Her photobook and films have been presented at Brick Aux Gallery and The Living Gallery in Brooklyn. She currently serves as a guest faculty member in the Sarah Lawrence College dance department. She graduated from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts with a diploma in Contemporary Dance and holds a BA from Sarah Lawrence College with concentrations in Dance, Filmmaking, and Philosophy.
