About Me Zara creates and often performs in her own artistic work. Doing so she is known for her multidisciplinary approach to dance, movement, and worldbuilding, often through a visual lens. Informed by her background in contortion and charged by a desire to tease apart how the body is observed and internally experienced, her ideas often stem from dystopias, body horror, the instability of perception, and the body as a site of distortion and metamorphosis. Her work has been programmed at venues and by platforms such as BFI Southbank, ICA, Royal Academy Lates, Channel 4’s Random Acts, videoclub, Modern Art Oxford, Lincoln Museum, and Birmingham International Dance Festival, among others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b51fe9b436a2291e01bab7/1624293215701-U91Q6BTWDITQXMVFFPL7/A+woman+with+dark+hair+tied+in+a+bun%2C+looking+over+her+arm+folded.

One was a CRT TV looping a recording of the live transmission of the performance space when I was performing in it (so my performance). Another was a small CRT TV placed in the performance space next to the remaining prop, which displayed text. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b51fe9b436a2291e01bab7/85652a4d-7cb3-4d8e-b424-93e9a5943e54/GP+Logo+White+Small+PNG.png Artistic Work - Full Circle - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b51fe9b436a2291e01bab7/05185c4f-22e4-4d42-a4ba-222276f3eb7d/Grant+Logo_White_PNG.png Artistic Work - Full Circle - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.zarasands.com/artistic-work/remote-and-growing monthly 0.5 2022-12-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b51fe9b436a2291e01bab7/d48a1c4e-11b9-441a-b1e0-3d437775e057/Website+Grain+Image+2+8-bit.png Artistic Work - Remote and Growing - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b51fe9b436a2291e01bab7/3caf0ca1-0cc9-4c8a-a323-831751189611/Edited+Screenshot+2.png Artistic Work - Remote and Growing - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.zarasands.com/artistic-work/hibernation-dream monthly 0.5 2021-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b51fe9b436a2291e01bab7/1630456073928-UQP9TDR8WWGPDV34Z86X/Videoclub+Logo Artistic Work - Hibernation Dream - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b51fe9b436a2291e01bab7/1630455393104-BXBNCA6VUWY9D9K8G9M4/Resource+Productions+Logo Artistic Work - Hibernation Dream - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b51fe9b436a2291e01bab7/1630446502789-4BGNMSPSD2EBV9E5CEYN/An+image+of+Zara+wrapped+in+a+fur+blanket+lying+in+a+clearing+in+a+forest.+By+her+feet+are+a+pair+of+high+heels+and+a+brief+case+layed+out+on+the+ground.
