Born in Barcelona, Spain, Ariadna Rodriguez started playing the Violin and studying Dance at the age of five.

After earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Classical Music, a Diploma in Contemporary Theater and finishing her Master’s Degree in Violin Performance, Ariadna had an active career as a freelance musician and performer, that brought her to tour Europe with different Orchestras and Companies (JONDE, Fusió Chamber Orchestra, EAYO, JONC…).

In 2005, her passion for exploring the Alternative Styles on the Violin and to create multidisciplinary work brought her to the US. She obtained the prestigious Fulbright Scholarship of Excellence to study at Berklee College of Music and The School of the Museum of Fine Arts. Fulbright scholars are dedicated to work on the possible development of peace between nations and Miss Rodriguez was selected with very few artists around the world to fulfill this mission. At Berklee College of Music, she was awarded with the prestigious ‘String Achievement Award’, earned a place in the University’s Dean List and graduated Suma Cum Laude. Miss Rodriguez identified herself with a unique and original style of multidisciplinary performance work, and she premiered her piece ‘Labyrinth’ at the Mobius Space, Boston, MA in December 2007; followed a full program of performances in the Unites States (Boston, New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles) and Europe. She moved to Los Angeles in 2008 where she is a member of the Rachel Rosenthal Company and Body Weather Laboratory directed by Oguri.
