Kara Roseborough (MFA 24, Dance at the School of Music, Theater, and Dance) is a multi-disciplinary dance artist and one of three master’s degree-level residents chosen for the 2024 Creative Careers Residency at the Arts Initiative. During her residency, Kara has been developing a Motown ballet ‘La Vie en Rose,’ which chronicles the journey of a small-town Black waitress with dreams of dancing in New York City. The piece examines issues of race and gender as they pertain to an artist’s journey and incorporate the history of Black people in Southeast Michigan.
