FORM/S:
These workshops serve as a start towards dynamically bridging the gap between different dance and art communities both in and outside of Seattle, LA and NYC. To date, FORM/S has served 200 diverse dancers, invited over 100 members of the community to open showings and conversations, provided five full and five partial scholarships, and five work-study positions. The guest artists and Zoe co-create curriculum that is pertinent to their current research and process, shaping the structure of FORM/S to support the synthesizing of their teaching and creative practice. FORM/S artist faculty include: Gilbert T Small II, Dani Tirrell, Juniper Shuey and Zoe Scofield. Guest artists and speakers include Heather Kravis, Michelle Ellsworth, Danya Hanson, Randy Ford, David Rue, Brian Rogers and Negarra Kudumu.

Clear & Sweet: commissioned and presented by On the Boards, New York Live Arts, Bates Dance Festival, Contemporary Arts Center NOLA, Oz Arts and Carolina Performing Arts. Clear & Sweet premiered at CAC NOLA September 2016. Performed by Ana Maria Lucaciu, Navarra Novy-Williams, Troy Ogilvie, Dominic Santia, Zoe Scofield and Kevin Barran with local singers.

The 5 dancers are blindfolded in this section and can’t see each other or the stage. It took A LOT of rehearsal to learn the exact movement pathways, facings and how to not accidently hit each other. It also took a lot of time, vulnerability, patience and trust. I love this part of Clear & Sweet and I absolutely loved working with these amazing dancers. When I said, I want to do this section (of complicated partnering between 5 dancers) blindfolded, they didn’t hesitate and we figured it out. I couldn’t make the work I make without all the incredible dancers I am fortunate enough to work with!
