About Suzanne

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.
