There will be opportunities to receive “hands-on-work” by Suzanne. The workshops will include discussion, observation, movement, and individual activities. Private Lessons
AT can alter habitual pathways for expanding our way of seeing, thinking, and hearing. As an AT teacher, I work with students to provide a more accurate sensory awareness of how your body moves efficiently. Working with the AT principles helps to recover a whole body response to an activity and in doing so, improve your overall use while engaging in an activity. I am available to teach private lessons and/or small group classes in my home studio in Toronto. Please contact me directly to book a session. Cost: $70.00 per lesson Some sliding scale slots are available. Fees are tax deductible for performing artists as “Professional Development”. Location: 124 Morrison Ave., Toronto, Ontario, M6E 1M4 *Please note that cancellations within 24 hours of your lesson are subject to a cancellation fee. |

About Suzanne's Choreography/Performance
|
My practices - physically dynamic partnering, dance improvisation, Laban, Alexander Technique, Taiko, and Butoh - are linked together through physical, collective, and cultural/social embodiment. I create using emotion-based imagery, the spectrum spanning tension and release, and character development through sensory impulses. My work specializes in improvisation-based choreography that inspires emotion, provokes thought, and expands the boundaries of momentum and physical partnering. I draw on somatic practices, contemporary dance/theatre and Japanese art forms to contextualize my choreography.
