Artistic Team
Faith Rokowski (she/her) is a choreographer, educator, and arts producer based in Washington, DC. Her work is driven by a fascination with human connection, identity, and the ways people create meaning through their relationships with one another and the worlds they inhabit.
Drawing on a cinematic and highly theatrical approach to movement, Faith creates dance works that blend storytelling, symbolism, and emotional complexity. Rather than offering simple answers, her work seeks to create space for reflection, recognition, and connection.
Faith began dancing at the age of three and trained in a variety of styles before earning a Bachelor's degree from American University. Alongside her choreography, she is a dedicated educator, teaching dancers of all ages in the DC suburbs. Faith is also the founder and partner of Stage Left Strategies, where she works with political and nonprofit clients.
Her first work, they had light inside, about the end of the world and inspired by dystopian media, premiered at Atlas Performing Arts Center in 2023, and was restaged and expanded as part of the 2023-24 Dance Place Co-Presentation Series. She premiered it’s the universe in there about cults with Dance Loft in April 2025, and most recently premiered no tears, please inspired by horror media and tropes with Dance Place in March 2026. Her next, currently-untitled work is in progress.
