Je T'aime
“Je T’aime” blends body and spirit, light and shadow in a presentation where even the music becomes part of movement, a dancer itself among the others. This art is not spectacle, but a form of interactive communication with many facets. Each piece is refreshingly original and poignantly demanding of artist and audience alike. The juxtaposition of obstacle with hope, determination with sensitivity, drama with humor is reflective of Daughter of Zion Dance Company.
Time in Between
This is aerial dance theater that incorporates images of life that inspire us, frighten us, move us, and redeem us. The core of our work is relationships, whether it is between the dancers, with the set or apparatus, the floor, or the audience. Theatrically, Daughter of Zion and DramaDogs explore the connections between words, sound and movement allowing the audience to experience yet another dimension of the journey we all take.

Visage
57 minutes
Relationships and environment are the key elements. The dancers are
continually manipulated by the levels, ropes, and fabric of the structure.
Dancers at times are forced to rely on one another to accomplish tasks.
How does this interaction at times build the relationship between dancers
and at times hinder that relationship.

Between the Ages
50 minutes
An evening length work in which the performers are not hiding within
a character; instead revealing a place within their own lives; their
individual story. No longer inhibited but freed from the ususal confines
of gravity with the aerial element alluding time, memories, and moving
as if underwater.
The sections
I. Marriage -2 dancers
II. Self- 1 dancer
III. Identity- 2 dancers
IV. Friendship- 2 dancers
V. Health- 1 dancer
In the First Three Minutes (6:00)
There are two dancers each in a costume that has 3 hoops increasing in size from top to bottom; encumbered at times by the costume and at others not aware of it. A segment of the dancer's relationship to one another is seen. They have a destination but not knowing how to get there on their own.
Moments Before Waking (8:00)
A group piece of 7 dancers and one large box. It has a dream-like quality: the time just before waking up when you're not sure if you're dreaming or awake. A sense of breakdown and stifling anything outside of the group is the beginning. The main character is not noticed at first, simply fitting in to what is going on around her. She realized that is not where she is supposed to be and is trying to go her own way.
