Zollar's work emerges out of "total theater," a unique concept in which sociocultural commentary, political critique, personal testimony, and spiritual fervor interweave, acting upon and through the performing body to create a rich, layered, and nuanced artistic texture. Zollar maintains the African-American and African legacies of multifaceted performance in which dance, theater, song, and music coexist and enrich the totality of the event. What is singular about Zollar's work, though, is the location from which the body is enunciated, and from which it articulates the complex, often conflicting realities it embodies.
It emerges from a refusal to be locked into rigid categories, and from a commitment to negotiate through issues as they are configured in real-world situations. Zollar's pieces are built on African legacies, African-American concert dance traditions, and the creative energies of street dance forms and contemporary dance. At the same time, her work celebrates and deconstructs traditional values and notions of womanhood.
