Cross-disciplinary

In his craftsmanship, Zino raised awareness of higher artistic standards. He acquired a multidisciplinary approach to learning as a dancer, maker, videographer and sound designer.

Cross-contextual

An inquiry into own signature is both personal and urgent. This is based on interactions with audiences in a variety of settings and stems from his experience as a street performer. As a result, he investigates manners and how different identities in society come together - as well as how they are expressed at various stages and in various forms.

bi-cultural

With Dutch-Maluku ancestry, bi-cultural backgrounds are as obvious as diversity in the HipHop culture. This maintains a variety of viewpoints on current affairs and social trends. It facilitates critical perspective, sharing, and creation.

Contemporary & Hip-Hop

Zino displaces the traditional hip-hop dance from its native environment and instead talks about themes that are current and affect everyone. He concluded that hip-hop offers a fruitful foundation for narrating tales and conveying feelings. He is skilled at bridging the gaps between different dance languages. His art features recognizable human themes that speak to individuals.
