Her influence lifted Restless Dance Theatre to new heights, shaping not only our work but also the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of collaborating with her. Roz was a passionate advocate for artists and seamlessly brought creative teams together to turn ideas into stunning pieces of art.

Though Roz may no longer be with us, her spirit, dedication, and vibrant energy remain deeply embedded in all that we do. Her legacy will continue to inspire and uplift, touching the lives of those who knew her, worked alongside her and experienced her artistry from the audience, including future audiences yet to come.
We are profoundly grateful to have shared this journey with Roz to have felt her light and strength in our orbit and we are deeply honoured to call her part of the Restless family. Her memory will always remind us to stay solution focused, and always come from a place of love, honesty, joy, and passion, traits she brought to every project, every conversation, and every moment.
