About Zino Schat
Zino Schat (1989) is a Dutch/Moluccan dancer, choreographer, and sound designer. He is the founder of Fractal Collective. Zino bridges the gaps between different dance languages, with his art showcasing recognizable human themes that resonate with individuals. With a background in hip-hop, he has developed tools inspired from within the hip-hop culture, displacing them from their native context and reimagining them with current, universal themes to create Contemporary works. Zino’s multidisciplinary approach has flourished over the years through the work of Fractal, an interdisciplinary collective he established. Since 2020, he has created works such as And the rest is noise with Japanese visual artist Daijiro Hama, Chasing the [Blank], and Soma (2023), developed under the DANSLOKAAL project, which toured extensively across the Netherlands with great success. Other works include Exit Sign (2024), which opened the gala of the Nederlandse Dansdagen, and his latest creation, Whispering a Prayer (2024), a co-production with Nederlands Dans Theater, which also toured widely throughout the Netherlands.
