Zoe Scofield is a choreographer, dancer and Co-Artistic Director of Seattle-based dance and visual art company, (zoe|juniper ). She has created a movement language that seamlessly integrates art forms, making works that are not easily categorized. These collaborations allow Zoe to fold in stage performance, video installation, photography and complex technical elements, creating an immersive audience experience. By continuously experimenting in multiple disciplines, she utilizes her primary mediums - dance and performance. Her works allow a space for the audience to imprint and overlay their own experience and feel like they're not alone. Zoe was born and raised in Gainesville GA, Zoe began ballet at a young age, instilling in her a deep love and interest in structure, discipline and performances’ ability to create a transformative experience. Zoe attended Walnut Hill School for the Arts, an arts high school in Boston MA, receiving a Monticello Choreography Fellowship and graduating with high honors in dance. After, she danced with (Prometheus Dance ) in Boston (1998 - 1999) where she performed in three new works. In 1999 she moved to Toronto, Canada to study Ashtanga Yoga and dance with Atlas Moves, directed by Bill James. Working with James was her first introduction to works with elaborate visual and sonic elements and the use of unconventional spaces as a choreographic element. In 2002 she moved to Seattle and began creating and presenting small scale solos, in 2005 she met and began collaborations with video artist Juniper Shuey and musician Morgan Henderson, and by 2006 they formed their company zoe|juniper. ==Collaboration and Past Works== Since Scofield's move to Seattle she has been performing with other choreographers and showcased her work at On The Boards, Spectrum Dance Theater, Velocity Dance Center, and the 2005 Northwest New Works Festival where she began her collaboration with video artist Juniper Shuey and musician Morgan Henderson.
