Tamar Rogoff is a New York filmmaker and choreographer who explores the outer limits of how people negotiate extreme circumstances. Rogoff’s large scale site works, films, and more traditional proscenium performances house her life-long experimental process. The Ivye Project took place in Belarus, at the mass graves of Rogoff’s relatives killed in the Holocaust. This became the subject of Summer in Ivye, a documentary by Rogoff and Daisy Wright which screened at the Hamptons International Film Festival. Rogoff choreographed a solo at P.S.122 for Claire Danes, and was her movement coach in HBO's Emmy award winning movie Temple Grandin. 

Rogoff was a Sundance Institute Documentary Film Fellow where she worked with Daisy Wright on Enter The Faun. Rogoff’s methods of release through unorthodox body practices address protagonist Mozgala’s cerebral palsy. The documentary, Enter the Faun, toured festivals and was broadcast on PBS America Reframed and in Belgium. Rogoff’s short, Wonder About Merri, won “Most Daring Film” at Dare to Dance in Public Festival.

Rogoff received grants from National Endowment for the Arts, Rockefeller, Fledgling Fund and is a Guggenheim Fellow. She teaches at LaMama and NYU’s Experimental Theater Wing. Rogoff was a founding member of Montreal’s Theater 1.
