My name is Zoë. I am a choreographer, dancer and filmmaker.

For years, I have worked with the female body as both subject and source of creative strength.
My artistic work (on stage and on screen) revolves around the body. How it moves, adapts, and expresses.

My movement practice draws from contemporary dance and combat training. It is shaped by explorations in disciplines like climbing, swimming, pole dance, and parkour.

At its core, it asks what it means to live and perform in a body that is always in flux.

HOW I WORK
My movement practice is shaped by years of artistic work in dance and film. 

As a performer, I’ve learned to listen to my body.
As a choreographer, director and educator, I translate that listening into movement and method.
Over time, I’ve deepened my understanding of training, strength and recovery. Especially through the lens of female physiology.

I am not a sports scientist or medical professional. My strength lies in connecting artistic practice with science, staying informed through current research and courses with for example experts like Dr. Stacy Sims.
I aim to turn that knowledge into lived experience, both in my own body and in the bodies of the women I train and work with.

WHY PANTHERA
I didn’t miss challenge. I missed resonance.

In many disciplines, I trained under grand narratives of mastery and endurance, usually shaped by male perspectives.
I kept asking:

Where is the story that includes my body, my reality?

PANTHERA grew from a need for something else.
An approach that sees the female body not as an exception, but as a source.
One that offers tools to support movement while honoring female physiology, personal narrative and lived experience.
