WHO WE ARE.

We are all creators at heart. At Zenki Productions, we are always striving for greatness and looking to take the next step in the creative film & dance industry. We are risk takers, always searching for new paths and stories to tell through movement and film. We believe that no idea is too big, and every artist deserves to have their voice heard. At a time when social media is such key principal in the dance industry, we want to revolutionize it and build a community among creators, not competition. Zenki is a place for all artists that are eager and hungry to create.

Meet the creator…

Brianna Campbell, a native of Charleston, South Carolina, is currently choreographing, teaching, and creating works of art through movement and film. Campbell is a 2019 Dance major graduate of Charleston County School of The Arts. “Through Campbell’s unwavering commitment and authentic artistry she is a wonder to watch. Fluid and dynamic, still and vibrant, her movement is almost preternaturally expressive. This is a young woman who is aware of the power of intentionality, who possesses a deep reverence for nuance and a raw gift for channeling authentic emotion into dance. Her sense of humility seems to rise from a deep well of compassion for the human experience, attributes that are indispensable in the progress of an aspiring dancer. At her core, Brianna is an artist who is, quite simply, present” (Yusha Soranzo).

Brianna has always had an obsession with filming dance. The way the angle of the camera can change the entire perspective and understanding of what’s in the frame is intriguing. “It blows my mind that one little switch can alter one’s view and opinion. I believe I can suggest one to feel a specific way through movement and perspective. In most live performances, we are limited to projecting out into the audience. However with film the options seem to be countless”.

WHY WAS ZENKI CREATED?

Growing up with heavy influence of Japanese culture, I wanted to create a space that welcomed all forms of art. Especially in today’s world film is becoming a place where humans and artists can meet. I merged these two ideas together to employ both artists and humans.

WHAT DOES ZENKI MEAN?

Zenki can be interpreted in many different ways. We interpret it as "a state of no-mindedness where one can experience a circulating life force whose existence creates a feeling of peace through universal energy". In simpler terms it means a meditative space where humans and artists can meet.
