About

Creation-based contemporary ballet company The Rosin Box Project in Point Loma holds 501(c)(3) status under women-owned artistic direction, staging intimate productions from its home studio at Liberty Station's Dorothea Laub Dance Place on Truxtun Road since 2018. Artistic Director Carly Topazio has commissioned more than 35 new works from choreographers ranging from former New York City Ballet soloists to Nederlands Dans Theater alumni, building a repertoire distinct from the classical programming at San Diego Ballet across the Liberty Station campus. Education and outreach programming serves more than 2,500 students annually in upwards of 60 classrooms across San Diego County, supplemented by adult technique classes at the studio. The company's 2026 season, titled PARALLAX: When Perspective Becomes Movement, frames four programs as perceptual lenses that shift the audience's relationship to space, proximity, and choreographic narrative. That immersive performance model—ticketed runs at the intimate Light Box Theater with audiences seated inches from the dancers—sets the company apart from the proscenium-stage format used by contemporary-movement peers like Malashock Dance. The company's most ambitious production to date paired 360-degree camera work with VR headsets shipped to remote ticket holders, merging live pointe technique with interactive digital distribution in a format no other San Diego dance organization has replicated.
