Finleigh Zack is a choreographer, director, and producer originally from the US and is now based in England. She is also the Artistic Director of Finleigh Zack Dance (FZD). FZD’s mission is to bring perspective, awareness, and inspiration to conversations around mental health through community-centred movement and performance practices. Rooted in movement, built on mentorship, and held together by community, the company creates space for expression, connection, and support across every facet of its work, giving voice to dancers searching for connection.

Finleigh’s creative practice is influenced by collaboration and the balance between personal experience and diverse cultural perspectives. She approaches creation with mindfulness both in and out of the studio, prioritising care for both the physical and emotional body through artistic direction and collaborative processes with fellow artists.

Finleigh received her BFA in Dance from NYU Tisch School of the Arts under the direction of Sean Curran and is a former member of WHITE WAVE Young Soon Dance Company and Second Avenue Dance Company. Her work has been performed and presented internationally, including at the Paris Olympics, Rambert Dance Studios, Chisenhale Dance Space, Gibney Dance Center, Center for Performance Research, and Boink! Dance Film Festival.

Her love for creating has not only influenced herself as an artist but as a human. As an artist, she strives to create work that engages audiences in thoughtful conversations through performance and community-based practices.
