Zinnia Oberski
Zinnia is a circus artist and maker specialized in static trapeze, acrobatic movement and physical theatre.Since graduating from the Academy for Circus and Performance Art (Netherlands) in 2016 she has performed her work at several festivals including Braw Circus, Festival Circolo and Les Rencontres de Danse Aerienne.
Zinnia has a very diverse style and enjoys using inspiration from a wide variety of sources. As a result her performances include everything from absurdist social commentary to shamanic journey to just having a good shimmy in a pair of too-small sparkly hotpants. Recently she has received funding from Creative Scotland to finish her solo show 'Dreams of the Small Gods', a performance that celebrates women's primal power and the innate animal nature of humans.
'Dreams of the Small Gods' will premiere at Summerhall, Edinburgh in March 2019.
