#44 - Unleash your Inner Artist: Freedom and Boldness through Performance Arts with Zera

In today’s episode we’re metaphorically jumping on a plane to the north of Thailand, to a little hippy town called Pai. Back on my 2024 trip, I visited the intimidatingly impressive Zera and recorded this deep and playful conversation.

This conversation offers insight into how performance art, embodiment & somatic practices can strengthen your relationship to your body, intuition and lead to more powerful self-expression. Sandwiched in between fascinating travel stories, we offer tips and tools for you to start straight away.

Zera is a multi-discipline performance artist, specialising in the interconnection between somatic dance and contemporary circus. What makes her stand out from the crowd is her ability to combine her unparallelled skills, along with her own unique approach to storytelling.

Whether she’s running her own movement and circus festival, or she’s creating viral content on YouTube, Zera’s mission is to inspire her heart-felt community to connect to something greater than themselves.

Hope you enjoy the roosters in the background.
