Zinzi Minott’s work focuses on the relationship between dance, bodies and politics. Zinzi explores how dance is perceived through the prisms of race, queer culture, gender and class. She is specifically interested in the place of Black women's bodies within the form.
As a dancer and filmmaker, she seeks to complicate the boundaries of dance, seeing her live performance, filmic explorations and objects as different, but connected manifestations of dance and body based outcomes and inquiry.
Zinzi is interested in ideas of broken narrative, disturbed lineage, and how the use of the glitch can help us to consider notions of racism one experiences through the span of a Black life. She is specifically interested in telling Caribbean stories, highlighting the histories of those enslaved during The Atlantic Slave Trade and the resulting migration of the Windrush Generation.
