Rochambo
1993 MFA Thesis Concert, Theater II, Cal Arts

"Ms. Townsend’s work shows a high level of intelligence, sophistication, and understanding. Her material is highly interdisciplinary and provocative.”
Cristyne Lawson, Dean of the Dance School, CalArts, 1994

Rochambo delves into the lighter and darker side of patterns, random chance, and psychological manipulation, as they relate to the human condition.
