the SOZO ZONE
SOZO ZONE - a place to recover vision.
People ask me why I started SOZO visions in motion contemporary dance studies. I actually had the dream to have my own company and after a magical train of thoughts, I decided to train young dance artists to discover and bring out the best of themselves - to become amazing people to work with... and then I wanted to work with some of the wonderful young people. SOZO visions in motion DANCE Co. is a professional dance company exclusively for SOZO graduates. So I created a creative space for dance artists to learn and grow as students and as professional dancers. After 13 years of holding this creative space through thick and thin, developing it and refining the vision, learning from mistakes, seeing the artist in me being one of the most important components to success and innovation, the “SOZO ZONE” has been called into life.
SOZO - to recover, become liberated, whole, reach full potential, be safe and sound.
ZONE - is an area that has particular features or characteristics (see above).
To be “in the zone” - in a mental state that enables one to perform to the best of one's ability!
This is my offering to fellow creative space makers who are also artists themselves and to fellow freelance dance artists who have whole heartedly decided for this journey. It’s a ZONE full of SOZO we can all enter into. We all loose the plot, we all face insecurity and we all forget at times WHY we started this incredible but scary adventure. Loosing the VISION and the WHY doesn't mean throwing in the towel. Why do we even try to keep our practice, space or studio alive, not to mention drowning in bureaucratic piles of organization, applications and dealing with difficult working conditions or customers. The SOZO ZONE is a “place” to help you refine your vision until it is clear again, get your mindset sharpened and encourage you to live out your creative vision to the full and earn a living as the artist you are passionately again... without the burn out! After 30 years in this business I may not have all the answers but I can share and encourage you with a mindset and values that have carried me far and led to fulfilling experiences again and again.
Just contact me if you would like a personal one on one talk or exchange about this.
If you are a freelance dance artist and would like to work on your mindset and recover your vision, you can purchase my 6 module course “Make it - own it - manage it”. THIS COURSE IS PRESENTLY BEING RESTRUCTURED.
