She is invested in disrupting traditional roles of spectatorship in relation to her work. Zoë interrogates the stigmatization of sexuality by blurring the boundary between private and public and through the utilization of a grotesque aesthetic. Her process emphasizes chance based methods of composition, exploring issues of identity and community dynamism in relation to contemporary culture.

Angela Chambers

Wellness for Dancers

TWDCC Youth Program Manager

"As an educator of the arts and avid advocate of self care, I always work to facilitate safe and supportive environments for students to find comfort, inspiration, guidance, and connection. I firmly believe that fostering resiliency and autonomy in our youth through creative expression and interpersonal connection is a uniquely powerful measure, the benefits of which I not only experienced first hand, but studied extensively while obtaining my degree in Intensive Psychology and while receiving my Youth Protection Advocacy in Dance (YPAD) Certification. Inspired by this belief and by my time spent with many students over the years, I was motivated to develop an accessible curriculum dedicated to personal self care and awareness - a curriculum that embodies my knowledge and passion for youth/teen empowerment. After being awarded the Professional Development grant from the Santa Cruz Arts Council to further my work, I was presented with an opportunity to bring the course to TWDCC in 2017 and have been offering sessions ever since. The class is designed to support youth and teens in empowering themselves by providing key points of knowledge and tools intended to help them navigate the many layers of adolescence; these tools will encourage them to make confident, well informed decisions. This specific program, Self Care For Dancers, has an additional goal in mind: to help young artists cope with and balance the rigors of being a dancer - both the mental and the physical. What I find most important about this class, however, is that students will gain a solid foundation of self care skills while also fostering mutual connections and intimate relationships with their fellow Company members. This is a critical aspect to healthy and positive development - especially within the dance community."
