COMPANY MEMBER

Roobi Gaskins is a NYC based artist, who specializes in dance, choreography, and garment construction.  Although she has always had a passion for dance, she owes her movement genesis, ability, and training to 14 years of competitive figure skating, where she competed internationally as a member of the Puerto Rican national team.  Due to injury, she decided to redirect her career path, and began her formal dance training at Bard College where she received a Bachelor of Arts in Dance with a focus in Africana Studies.  She was an apprentice with Urban Bush Women in 2019-20, and has also performed works with various artists and companies including but not limited to Abby Z and the New Utility (Jacob’s Pillow), Brownbody, Marguerite Hemmings (Baryshnikov Arts Center), 7NMS (New York Live Arts), and Trisha Brown (92nd Street Y).
