Zoetic Dance Ensemble was established to give voice to the extraordinary potential of the human body and spirit. Coming from the Greek ‘zoe,’ Zoetic means living, vital and animated which accurately describes our approach to movement. Zoetic is an all-female performance company creating works and programs in a collaborative environment that fosters opportunities for risk, innovation and learning. We believe dance is essential to the human experience. Our work focuses on the personal, incorporating the ideas, stories and experiences of the people present in the space during the creative process and the performance. The work engages artists and audiences in a collaborative relationship for a moment in time with a lasting impact.

2:45 p.m. on October 7, 2017 “d r e a m s” is a dance & movement installation inviting viewers to share in the dancers’ experience. This work features 6 dancers moving freely about an open space,. “d r e a m s,” provides the Beltline attendee an opportunity to simultaneously observe, interpret and participate in an experience that is both physical, visual and auditory. A full kinesthetic experience complimenting the Beltline experience, “d r e a m s” is a visceral physical journey, allowing the audience member to transcend to a place of gratitude, acceptance and peace, pulsing energy through movement that is guided and inspired by the dancers. This work will inspire audience members to move, not just through music, but through inner rhythm. The dancers of the installation will guide and encourage audience members to express their inner groove along with them, guiding them through improvised movement, creating a work of art and dance. “d r e a m s,” is a work that strives to unify by inspiring onlookers that they, too, are dancers and dreamers. This movement installation will be set to original music, and will be an estimated 15-20 minutes in length. “d r e a m s” aims to ask the audience to open their minds and escape, only if for a few minutes, from the ties that bind them to that which is not serving them. As it is intended to be performed in a site-specific location, this will bring to life the dreams that make up our beautiful Atlanta Beltline, and celebrate the landscape.
