a native of the greater atlanta, georgia area, georgia rood grew up surrounded by the arts and the woods. georgia began their early training in ballet at atlanta ballet at two years old. this eventually led them to studying at the georgia ballet conservatory, joffrey ballet school, terminus modern ballet theatre, and now the university of north carolina school of the arts where georgia is pursuing their bachelor of fine arts in contemporary dance.
always wanting to find more ways to explore and evolve, georgia is drawn to expression through dance, choreography, performance, and film. they have had the opportunity to perform works by josé limón, ashley lindsey, brenda daniels, darrell grand moultrie, ming-lung yang, and lauri worril-biggs. georgia has also created works for terminus modern ballet theatre students and unsca dancers in both film and dance. in addition to performing and creating dance works, georgia assisted brittany bailey in the setting of yvonne rainer’s “trio a” and the notation of the piece for that project. georgia takes inspiration from their childhood of dance and being immersed in nature when exploring their creative works and is currently collaborating as a see/a/change fellow at unsca.
