05. ZOEE MARSH
// MOVEMENT, MEDITATION AND CREATIVITY
Zoee Marsh is a beautiful light in this world, and in particular the performing arts industry. She is a very gifted choreographer and movement coach with a resume boasting many musicians including George Maple, Kite String Tangle, George Alice and the Dianas. Her body of work also includes the likes of C2 Melbourne, Neighbours, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, The Dream Dane Company, SYTYCD (Warsaw, Poland), “Spring Awakening” The Musical and “Tarzan” The Musical. If her resume doesn’t impress you enough she has also won several awards for her choreography including ‘Video Choreography of the Year’ at Ground Industry awards 2019 and ‘Best Choreography’ at the Seattle International Film Festival 2019.
In our chat we discuss her late introduction to dance and subsequent journey to becoming a movement coach. We explore the notion that your identity is not wrapped up in being ‘a dancer’ and the importance of daily meditation. Zoee is like a wise little yogi (I say little because I think she is the only person I have ever met that is slightly shorter than me). She completed a 10 day silent mediation camp at the age of 21. I know right! We talk about this experience and what she has learnt from it to incorporate in her daily life today.
Zoee also shares her advice and tips for any aspiring professional performers and choreographers (and let me tell you it is good!) and what creativity means to her.
