My name is Dana Rose. I am a composer of characters, a creator. I make and perform visual art, theatre, animations, films, sounds, and of course music.
Composition: Microtonality, atonality, avant garde, electro-acoustic, and classical composition at the University Of North Texas, School Of Music. I am also an audio engineer.
Instruments: Piano and guitar... but my main instrument is voice. My vocal studies include lessons in pop, rock, jazz, and opera.
Story-telling
Theatre: Growing up, I was involved in a local theatre group for children, which was fun while it lasted. I also studied improvisation through out middle school and high school. My sister and I created a series of about 250 episodes on analog audio. Since then I have been hard at work writing short stories, poems, and mostly scripts about the many characters I have developed over the years. Currently my focus is on a new series, which I have recorded via analog audio once again. Padoma.
Visual: Figure drawing and story-boarding. I actually got so into figure drawing that I ended up modeling for life drawing classes for a while. I try to put my figure skills into my illustrations. My story-boards are more stetchy, more animated. I have hours of fun mixing the hand drawn works into the digital realm. All the art you'll see here came from those hours of fun.

Padoma is an original series of mine, starring too magical loves named, Jordan and Blake. Last winter (Nov. 15, '08) I performed Padoma at the Bath House on White Rock Lake, here in Dallas!
hey!! thanks so much for checking it out...that's a great idea to add my photography! love your stuff!! seriously reminds me of a movie. i love how each song is different and how all your characters represent a different part of you. keep it up and let me know when you're performing live!
I am taking history of religeon and bone,bodies and disease. I might check out Fred's class in the fall but depending on when it is, I work in the day time, but wanna do more theater, writing, film type of classes;
Well, yeah, I definitely can see that. I like when we're able to laugh at ourselves -- that's one of the reasons I love comedians so much. But her story wasn't really told in a comical way, with a punchline or sarcasm; it was told with this kind of "how ridiculous is this people" hindsight that makes it laugh-worthy just be the sheer insanity of it.
"Just bugging you again to add that UNT performance. Youtube or myspace will host it. I mean, its pretty cool if ya get my drift." Thank you by the way, for your support. It means alot to me.
Yeah, I tried uploading some more songs yesterday but my computer's all fucked up for the moment. (I'm on a laptop right now). So when I can fix it I'll try to upload that video as well...I hadn't thought about it, but why not. =)
