PERFORMANCE

Art is definitely a spark that keeps us all alive, gives us strength, hope. I think we’d be very depressed without art.

INTRODUCTION

A normal person doesn’t live as intensely as an artist, but we know full well that our whole life is twice as intense as a normal person’s. We live everything to the maximum intensity, because we need to convey more emotion to our audience. It’s an exchange of energy, but in March 2020 everything stopped, the energy no longer circulated.

SHORT BIOGRAPHY

Dragoș “Istvan” Roșu

Dancer and choreographer

(b. 1989, Piatra Neamț)

Dragoș Roșu, also known as “Istvan”, was born in Piatra Neamț, where he made his first dancesteps on Romanian folklore rhythms and latino music. Despite of starting dance rather late in life, at the age of 15, his hunger for knowledge drove him to the National University of Theatre and Film „I.L. Caragiale” in Bucharest, the Theatre-Choreography section.

Wanting to go even further and truly devote himself to the art of dance, he travelled 3 times to USA (Los Angeles and New York), where he studied with the best choreographers and teachers in the world and even worked with them in private projects.

His versatility in dance allows him to explore a multitude of styles and therefore, in the end, creating his unique dance style called “Fusion”, a mix of elements coming from contemporary, hip hop & jazz.

In the last years, Dragoș went back and forth between Romania and Brazil, Sao Paulo to be more specific, where he works as a choreographer and dancer for different television shows, dance companies and theatres.

Dragoș has a great deal of experience as a professional artist and some of his main credits are: Britain’s Got Talent, Millennium Dance Complex Brazil, MSC Cruise Lines, Antalya Hotels, Dancing with the Stars, The Voice of Romania, Romania’s Got Talent, The Masked Singer, Carnival New York, Romeo and Juliet – The musical, Fiddler on the Roof – The Musical, INNA.
