Artist Statement

I am a storyteller.

My art is an extension of my imagination. I investigate truth within my own darker wonderland. There is a direct correlation between my artwork and my taste in literature. I love descriptive, articulate, dark, obscure tales. My work echoes this dystopian mood. Although my work is fictional, it comes from a very truthful place. My pieces are often perceived as unusual; things seem strange. I am obsessed with the idea of a human puppet and this is evident in my movement language.

Truths are unveiled and personalities are exposed. Things creep all over. I communicate with my audience by instilling them with images that loiter. I like to haunt people so that some remnants of my work can linger in their heads long after they leave the theater.

PERFROMANCE REVIEWS

Common Ground by choreographer Yin Yue

“This, however, drew my attention toward Australian-born dancer Zacharioglou, whose commanding gaze pierced beyond memorization of steps in a grounded and present embodiment of the work. ”

— Amy Leona Havin, Oregon Arts Watch 2023

The Commodities by choreographer Caroline Finn

“During a moment of collective chaos my eye went to Milian, who waltzed upright with the audacious Zacharioglou suspended mid-air and later atop his shoulders. This expertly executed image, though a minute portion of the evening, remained with me long after the show. ”

The Subject by choreographer Evita Zacharioglou

“The Subject... noteworthy as a dance for Katz’s piano composition... and even more so by the extraordinary movement images that Zacharioglou has created and for the control and precision-timing required for her to make the dance look as unusual as it does.”

“Zacharioglou’s inventiveness and top-flight execution makes it continuously interesting to watch.”

— Jerry Hochman, Critical Dance 2022
