Amelia Rose Estrada is a queer, Latina-Jewish performance maker and scholar. She is interested in crafting work that speaks to Latinidad, gender, queerness, and intergenerational ancestral relationality. Her work draws on methods from dance, performance art, and theater. Her choreography has been presented at University Settlement in NYC, SPACE in Portland, Maine, the Spark Theater Festival NYC, and at Cuerpo Mediado Festival de Videodanza in Rosario, Argentina, among others. As a theater creative, Amelia co-choreographed CarmXn, a modern adaptation of the opera Carmen with Hogfish Maine, was the associate choreographer for Moonbox’s production of Sweeney Todd, and co-directed and choreographed the musical adaptation of Twelfth Night at Tufts University. In addition to her individual projects, Amelia makes lesbian dance theater with her artistic partner, Elle Jansen, under the company name MELLE. As a freelance performing artist, she has had the pleasure of working with Edwin and Matt Cahill, Joy Clark, Eventual Dance Company, Brian Sanders' JUNK, and Leilani Chirino Dance and Drum Ensemble, among others. Amelia is a PhD candidate in the Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies and her current research focuses on how dance participates in the cultural and national imaginary of Dominicanidad in the Dominican Republic and diaspora.
