Sarah Jezebel Wood is a bellydance fusion artist and certified yoga instructor living in New York City where she teaches weekly classes and performs regularly. Sarah loves to nurture and cultivate the deep creative beauty and strength that we each hold as dancers and envisions dance as fluid meditation where our bodies are the catalyst to experience higher levels of consciousness. Knocking down boundaries Sarah’s style ranges from slow and sinuous to quick, dark and aggressive. Her inspirations vary from the natural world to the occult to visionary art.
Sarah Jezebel Wood is the artistic director of LUNARIS, a theatrical dance troupe whose mission it is to physically manifest the workings of the soul and spirit through the art of dance, ritual, and theater. Dancers act as keepers of the gates and portrayers of the unseen. Lunaris has performed at Spring Caravan in NJ, OCCULT Esoteric Art Salon in Salem, and Alex Grey’s Chapel of Sacred Mirrors. Sarah is the midst of writing a show based on her workings with LUNARIS that will premiere in NYC in the Fall of 2016.
