Zata Omm is ‘Zen And The Actualization Of Modern Movement’. ‘Zen’ conveys a sense of simplistic representation of complex ideas and that those ideas and the movement they inspire flow from the Centre of Being. ‘Actualization’ is the final implementation of those abstractions into the concrete form of physical movement.

The company’s mission is to create new experiences in dance. On stage and through other media we endeavour to reach a broader audience. We seek to make works sufficiently engaging and imaginative to also attract new audiences. We strive to conceive, choreograph and realize dynamic, provocative, exploratory works to engage, challenge and communicate with our audience.

Our commitment is to the Canadian dance scene and we are devoted to collaborating with Canadian and international artists and talents. Zata Omm endeavours to be an innovator in the creation of works of a contemporary nature, by involving professionals from all disciplines. The company is in a state of constant development with ongoing artistic research to explore the artistic climate track the current trends. As a result, the company involves itself, as often as possible, in muti-disciplinary and collaborative projects. The work of the research that the company engages in is to promote dance as a universal language.

Our creations are dedicated to forms, craftsmanship, clarity and choreographic invention. Zata Omm is committed to the creation of new works, the development of a repertoire of choreographic works, and the dissemination of the products of our labours through performance, media and education.
