BIO:

Rohan is a theatre director and choreographer working between Canada and the UK. He maintains a particular focus on musical theatre, new work development, movement-driven storytelling, and stories which amplify South Asian and queer representation. Drawing on his background in dance, Rohan creates work with a rigorous, sensitive, and kinetic sensibility. While creating work in his own right, he’s also had the privilege of assisting and being mentored by established artists including Tracey Flye, Kimberley Rampersad, Marc Kimelman, and Tony Award winner Susan Stroman.

Rohan is a graduate of the Honours Bachelor of Music Theatre Performance program at Sheridan College, Arts Management diploma program at Queen’s University, and received his MFA at Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London. He is also an alum of the National Alliance of Musical Theatre’s Creative Assistants Program for Early-Career Directors, and participated in the Canadian Guild of Stage Directors and Choreographers’ Assistants and Associates Program. In his work as a creative, Rohan enjoys working collaboratively and draws on a range of skillsets such as devising, physical theatre, music and more. He has extensive experience as an Assistant, Associate and Rehearsal/Resident Director, and enjoys the processes of working with understudies and remounting work.

Recent creative credits include Grow (Segal Centre), Come From Away (Gander production), Narnia (Bad Hats/Soulpepper/Crow’s), The Drowsy Chaperone and Alice in Wonderland (Theatre Sheridan), Company (Talk is Free Theatre), Little Dancer (West End concert), The Red Shoes (Royal Shakespeare Company), Crazy For You (West End), Why Storms are Named After People (Trinity Laban Conservatoire), The Pelican (NAMT Festival of New Musicals), Venus & Adonis (Toronto Fringe), and Chicago (Cawthra Productions). Select performance credits include the UK premiere of Come Fall in Love as Dance Captain for co-choreographers Rob Ashford and Shruti Merchant, two seasons at the Charlottetown Festival, Associate Artist and Rehearsal Director with contemporary dance company Frog in Hand, and collaborations with Jody Oberfelder Projects for the V&A Museum and Munich Dance Festival.

Rohan received the Alan Lund Scholarship for Choreography, the Mississauga Arts Council MARTY Award for Emerging Dance Artist, and the Trinity Laban Highest Achievement Prize for Postgraduate Dance. His practice is underlined by elements of community arts, EDI and intimacy practices in an active pursuit to articulate and facilitate anti-oppressive rehearsal and performance spaces.
