Meet Rose Zone. Rose is a modern contortionist known for her artistic poses and elaborate costumes. She is an active
performer, and has gracefully supplied us info and pictures for your enjoyment. For those people who think that all
contortion acts look the same, you haven't seen Rose! Her originality certainly sets her apart from what you have come
to expect. Blending the arts of theater and contortion, she becomes a whole new character with the change of a costume
and her body movements. From soft and sensuous, to agressive and dominating, to simply a work of art ... Rose can be
anything. Limited by neither her body nor her imagination, she is redefining "the art of performance". And if that
weren't enough, she is also quite a talented singer! She makes the type of music that she most enjoys performing her
contortion act to - Techno. Her first Techno CD ("French Kiss", "Divamania") were fairly successful, and now she is
working on recording her first self-written and self-performed song together with the German singer, Inga Humpe.
Rose was born in Manchester during 1968. When she grew old enough to go to school, her parents sent her to a girl's
boarding school. They wanted her to learn the things she would need to know to be a housewife. After finishing school,
she dyed her brown hair red, changed into a leather outfit, and travelled across France and Greece for 6 months. After
returning to the UK, she worked at an agency which specialized in birthday parties. Her boss recognized her talent,
and sent her to a woman in Cambridge who trained contortionists professionally. So, with no prior experience in dance
or gymnastics, she started training at the age of 18! Later, she joined a circus and travelled throughout the UK.
However, her big break came when she won the "Prix de la Coeur" at the Paris festival "Cirque de Demain". Now, she
travels from show to show, and can afford to rent an appartment in Berlin, Germany. During the last years, she has
worked as a contortionist, DJ, model, and actress. Her singing career is her most recent venture. She wants to work
as a contortionist until she gets old, and she plans to do more acting in the future. Who's her favorite actress? Rose
says, "Sharon Stone. She is so cool!"
