Zane Saunders

Zane, now based in Kuranda North Queensland, is a cross art form, interdependent artist who crafts one-off performances embedded in story and location. He describes his performances or dance style as 'Artistic Movement'; a deep theatrical play in particular space and time. His work communicates a ritualistic incorporeal language, drawing from his esoteric cultural roots and entwined in religious and worldly influences. 

Zane’s motivation is to reconnect with ancestral spirituality. He does this by prompting himself and asking audiences to engage, reimagine, and utilise their cultural origins to find solidarity within, and solace of mind and heart. 

Importantly, his work is placed in many diverse settings and contexts, transforming formal spaces into invigorating spaces, employing all manner of mediums and media in realising visually stunning and critically challenging work.
