ZOE WOZNIAK

Zoe grew up in Perth and moved to Kaurna Yerta to join Australian Dance Theatre (ADT) as a Company Artist in 2021. Zoe is thrilled to be currently working with Artistic Director Daniel Riley and has performed in The Third, Savage and The Hum, in collaboration with The Australian Ballet (Sydney Opera House and Arts Centre, Melbourne, 2023) under his directorship. Most recently Zoe performed in Cultivate:ONE performing in works by Sebastian Geilings and Brianna Kell.

Zoe is constantly drawn to the ocean and finds its strength and grace grounding. Nature holds a special place in her creative process and the connection she finds with others. 

Prior to ADT, Zoe became a founding dancer with Co3 in 2015, under Artistic Director Raewyn Hill. In her six years as a Co3 Company Artist, Zoe participated in the creation of new works and performed in numerous main stage seasons. She has also worked with the company’s youth ensemble program and was a teaching artist on regional educational tours. She has a strong passion to share dance with young people and communities, to ignite a curiosity in creating and learning. 

In collaboration with Co3 Zoe has worked with Antony Hamilton (2016), Garry Stewart and West Australian Ballet (2019), CIRCA (2020) and West Australian Opera (2020). In these years Zoe had a strong connection to the Independent sector in Perth and worked with numerous independent choreographers. 

In 2016, Zoe worked with Ochre Contemporary Dance Company and performed in Ohad Naharin’s Decadance with STRUT Dance. Zoe first debuted with Australian Dance Theatre in the World Premiere Season of North/South (2019), choreographed by Garry Stewart and Norwegian choreographer Ina Christel Johannessen. In late 2020, Zoe worked with Australian artist, Tim Minchin, performing in the official music video of the song The Absence of You. 

In 2021 with ADT and Garry Stewart Zoe performed in Stewart’s works; Supernature, South, Objekt and G as well as Immerse by Adrianne Semmens.

Zoe graduated from WAAPA with a Bachelor of Arts Degree (Dance) in 2013 and was the recipient of the Hawaiian Award for Most Outstanding Graduate. She then completed her Honours with LINK Dance Company in 2014.
