Zinzi Minott

My practice is focused on the body at its core. Bodily experiences, especially for us who experience life as working class LBTQIA Black, Black women. I’m curious how one navigates having that body. The consequences of that body and the joy. I love working with water. Repetition, duration and exhaustion. I am deeply committed to ephemeral work and find much power in the illusiveness of dance and how it evades capture. This as a result gives me an odd relationship to documentation and words. I do not like to contextualise my work with words too much. I like to give its space to talk, breathe. I do not give post show talks. I know this sits in conflict often with the fierce erasure that bodies like mine experience. It’s a practice. It’s mailable enough to hold conflict.
