Her solo performance of Kelli Wicke Davis’ “Whisper Into The Glass” received critical acclaim by The New York Times. – “a fascinating portrait of a woman who is a steely warrior with an eminently crushable heart…a beauty in her clear bold way, her face nakedly revealing fierce self-confidence and vulnerability.” As a choreographer, Rocha has created 10 evening-length productions since 2001. Her choreography has been presented and/or commissioned by numerous venues and events in New York City such as Danspace Project, Joyce Soho, Lamama ETC, Mo Pitkin’s House of Satisfaction (artist resident 2006/2007), Galapagos Art Space (artist resident 2006/2007/2009), Dixon Place, DanceNOW at Joe’s Pub, Dance Conversations at The Flea Theater, the DUMBO Dance Festival, The Improv Comedy Club, The Medicine Show Theater and more.
