Join violinist / singer / composer / multimedia artist Roseminna Watson for a single 75 minute Creativity Workshop, or for the complete three-part series. Each workshop will explore micro-practices designed to build trust in each and every unfolding moment as equally integral within the tapestry of creative process, while unlocking the body as an access point toward creative output. Roseminna’s own artistic practice is rooted in an unwavering reverence of the body as guide and messenger, and a belief that truth is a physical phenomenon.

Violinist, singer, composer and multimedia artist Roseminna Watson is fascinated by the human body as a vehicle that can carry us closer to the divine. Her artistry across mediums is imbued with a haunting immediacy and poignant nostalgia. She holds a B.A in Visual Art from Yale University, an M.M. in Violin Performance from Stony Brook University, and an A.D. in ChamberMusic from San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Ms. Watson is a member of the Providence-based new music collective Verdant Vibes and founder of the Pandemic Polyphony project —an ever-expanding platform for collaborative connection between creators of all kinds across the boundaries of physical distance and isolation (pandemicpolyphony.org). She is the former first violinist of the prize-winning Aiana String Quartet and currently performs in concert with a wide array of acclaimed classical artists, as well as with Humming Owl — a duo with her singer/songwriter/sitarist husband, Pablo Escalante. In 2023 Ms. Watson was thrilled to bring to life her first commissioned work, Triptych, A Priori : Logic of the Interior, and this summer (2026) she is looking forward to presenting the world premieres of two new works — Divinatum Dolorem for piano, violin and voice, and Rooms of the Body for string quartet. To find out where she is playing next, you can sign up for her mailing list HERE.
