Rosemary Carroll is a multimedia artist, choreographer, video-maker, and all-around artist crafting from the edge of discipline and rebellion. Her essays, poems, videos, images, and performance text have been published in periodicals with the Poetry Project, Ugly Duckling Presse, Tilted House, and Noco Books and anthologized by Hexentexte and Ignota Books. She served as an editor and contributor to the dance magazine Contact Quarterly. She frequently puts out independent publications.

Recent multi media projects include Interpretive Dances for Sasquatch which received support from Axle Contemporary and the Tasajillo Foundation and a re-imagination of the 1972 installation Wo-Man House with Judy Chicago and a group of contemporary artists. Rosemary’s installation Criss Cross Manifesto in Motion explored feminist art history, aesthetic manifestos, and tropes of the American West.
As an active oral historian and archivist, she documented performing arts collections for the American Dance Festival, Moving Image Preservation of Puget Sound, the Dance Heritage Coalition, and the Library of Congress.
