Josh S. Rose

Josh S. Rose is an interdisciplinary filmmaker and visual artist whose hallmark is an intensely co-creative approach. Working intimately within the creative worlds of renowned artists and performers, Rose immerses himself fully, becoming less a detached observer, more an engaged and feeling collaborator, embedded deeply in each artist’s vision. His insider perspective—grounded in playful curiosity and authentic exchange—results in work of uncommon honesty, emotional resonance, and artistic integrity.

Rose’s collaborative ethos has attracted partnerships with internationally celebrated choreographers, including Benjamin Millepied, Bobbi Jene Smith and Or Schraiber, and Dimitri Chamblas, among others and his imagery has appeared in nearly every outlet that covers dance. He has likewise joined forces with influential contemporary artists such as Doug Aitken, Aaron Young, Sarah Meyohas, Nicholas Kontaxis, Harmonia Rosales, Ferrari Sheppard, Mandy El-Sayegh, and Mario Joyce, as well as musical luminaries like the Hu Band, Dej Loaf, Dan the Automator, and Yoshiki. Rose’s deep commitment to the intersection of visual and performing arts has earned him prestigious artist residencies at Los Angeles Dance Project and CalArts, where he now teaches. His most recent short film, which he wrote and directed, is premiering at New Filmmakers Los Angeles, further solidifying his distinctive voice in the art world.
