Susan an independent artist rooted in the field(s) of Dance/Performance/Visual Arts working as educator, maker/choreographer, director, curator, dramaturg, researcher and performer. She has practiced globally for over 30 years working and continues teaching in Higher Education since 1992, meriting Senior Lecturer status from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. As performer, she danced with the original second company ‘The Ensemble’ of the Martha Graham Dance Company in the 1980’s and returned to performance working in the past decade with artists such as Tino Sehgal, Xavier le Roy, Dora Garcia and Jerome Bel (with Candoco Dance Company). Susan’s creative, pedagogic and research practice is inter/trans-disciplinary, anchored by a honed expanded somatic relationship to image, interested in dissolving the indexical to open a more expansive associative materiality. Susan focuses on gallery/museum contexts creating/collaborating on ‘responses’ or ‘activations’ within exhibitions and through liaisons with individual artists. She also choreographs durational installations orchestrating still/moving image, objects, sound and absence/presence of the performing body. Her work has been exhibited, screened and/or performed in the UK, USA, Europe, Italy, Israel, Indonesia, Hong Kong and Singapore.
