ZINNIA is the unhinged, garden in full bloom, DIY art pop of Montana/Toronto’s Rachael Cardiello. Known for a tendency to go right through the heart of things, ZINNIA’s most recent album Dollar Store Disco is a bedazzled catharsis of divorce anthems, rebound ragers and crushed ballads. Guts and glory, baby.
“listening to dollar store disco feels like going to an all-night liquidation warehouse party, and slipping into an endless flow of tender two-steps, giggly circle dances, statuesque vogues, rippling free-styles, righteous head-bangs, and stunned contemplations on a dance floor slippery with sweat and tears.” – Johnny MacRae
Hooked on the alchemy of collaboration since the album release for Sensations in Two Dot in 2019 – which featured nine choreographers presenting each of the album’s nine songs – ZINNIA is thrilled to feature dance artist Oriah Wiersma in this set.
Oriah Wiersma is a choreographer, dance artist, and Craniosacral therapist. Her work is process led and physically responsive through the mediums of movement and sound. As an interpreter she works with various choreographers from Toronto and Montreal. As a choreographer Oriah works in collaboration with musicians regularly through music videos and live performances.
