In a black background with body angled frontward and slightly towards the left, a Native woman dancer with medium brown skin, dark brown straight hair crouches in a semi-squat position with a curved back, elbows bent and criss crossed hands slightly covering the top of her head facing downward. One foot is flat on the ground while the other’s heel is raised. She wears black pants and a sleeveless top exposing both arms and shoulders. The black shiny flooring reveals a blurred reflection of her body. She seems deep in thought.

“It takes a special kind of performer to bewitch an audience with stillness. Rosy Simas has that gift. An articulate dancer, Simas has the ability to suffuse the smallest movements, or even complete motionlessness, with a captivating aura.” 

– Sheila Regan, City Pages, January 2015

Against a jet black background a Native woman with medium brown skin, dark brown straight hair in a single loose braid and regal facial expression arches back in a dancerly position with her right arm raised high, looking up. She wears a black outfit with a sleeveless top.
