Theodosia Roussos is a Greek Cypriot American Composer, Soprano, and Oboe/English Horn player. Most recently she composed what The Guardian calls a “magnetic score” alongside Devonte Hynes for the Netflix documentary Naomi Osaka, directed by Garrett Bradley. She also released an original opera art film Polymnia, described as “haunting and beautiful” by Opera News, commissioned by Beth Morrison Projects, National Sawdust and All Arts TV with director Diana Wyenn, projection artist Hana Kim, conductor Christopher Rountree, and WildUp in which she is the vocalist, oboist, and composer. Indie Opera describes Theodosia as a “bright, lush soprano.” She has collaborated on several projects with composer Emile Mosseri, playing oboe, English horn, voice, and writing original melodies for the film The Last Black Man in San Francisco, recording oboe for the Amazon show Homecoming, and as the soprano soloist for Kajillionaire, directed by Miranda July. 

Annalee Traylor is a creator, choreographer, director, and educator originally from Huntsville, AL. Traylor’s tragicomic storytelling lives at the intersection of theatre and dance.

She has been commissioned by Kennesaw State University, Periapsis Music and Dance, Texture Contemporary Ballet, Point Park University's International Summer Dance, REED Dance, The Dance Gallery Festival, Houston Contemporary II, Dance Canvas, and Voices Carry Inc. Most recently, Traylor was chosen as a choreographer for Dance Lab NY, working virtually with artists of Korzo Theater in The Hague, Netherlands.
