Dreams of the Small Gods

Presented by: Zinnia Oberski

Performer and maker Zinnia Oberski has an extensive movement background, predominantly in circus. She uses elements of physical theatre, dance and performance art to break the traditional circus aesthetic of the superhuman and focus on a strength that can only be accessed through vulnerability. Zinnia's physical work is a communication which is less literal than words and therefore well suited to conveying ideas that relate to the subconscious or the animal brain.
Zinnia works in a holistic way, treating mind and body as one cohesive entity. Having come from a background involving hard physical training she seeks to find a balance between strength and softness in both movement and intention, seeking a way which challenges the bodymind without traumatising it.
