Andrej Rozman (a.k.a. Roza, born 25 May 1955) is a Slovene poet, writer, actor, and street theatre producer. He writes poems and creates plays for children and also writes satirical poetry for adults.
Life and work
Rozman was born in Ljubljana in 1955. He abandoned his study of Slovene language and literature at the University of Ljubljana to set up a small theatre group in 1978. In the 1980s he co-founded a street theatre group, Ana Monró Theatre and was its director between 1982 and 1995.
He was co-writer of the low-budget TV comedy Vrtičkarji (2000), but left after the first thirteen episodes, disappointed by the production.
Since 2003 he has run his own theatre company Rozinteater.
Awards
Rozman won the Levstik Award in 1999 for Črvive pesmi (Worm-Ridden Poems) and again in 2009 for 100 + 1 uganka (100 + 1 Riddles).
In 2010 he won the Prešeren Foundation Award for his theatre and literary work.
