In the theatre realm, she appeared in a production of "Tales of the Vienna Woods" where she met John Rothenberg. They were a couple for over two decades before marrying in 1992. A great portion of her theatre assignments was with Philip Prowse, both as designer and director, with Imogen acting and providing the choreography.
