Zoe is a Certified Movement Analyst, Casting Director, and graduate student living and learning in New York/Tel Aviv. Trained at the Laban Bartenieff Institute of Movement Studies, she focuses on movement integration, and conveys the ‘what,’ ‘where,’ ‘why,’ and ‘how’ of any human motion. Zoe uses the system as a framework for understanding the structural, spatial, rhythmic, shape and dynamic components in human movement for observation, synthesis, and analysis. From the micro to the macro, from the individual to the universal experience.
Zoe draws inspiration from human developmental patterns, as well as spatial configurations and patterns that exist in and outside the body: a nexus between inner and outer harmony.
"i'm fascinated with how individuals move in relation to their sense of self and environment. i look at spatial patterns in the body which correlate with developmental patterns, constantly shifting from birth into adulthood and so on. when you begin to understand the patterning of a given context or environment, you can start making smarter decisions that are aligned with your truest embodied being."
"as an embodiment consultant, my goal is to open companies' hearts to the reality that movement is our underlying pattern and to bring a sense of three-dimensionality to ideas and conversations."
