Suzi Cunningham a Scottish-based live-performance artist who delves into ritualistic responses to the seen and unseen. With each concept, she creates and presents physically strong performances that are responsive to it's unique environment, enriched by her sense of design. She is deeply influenced by spending time in the natural world and in contrast, explores relationships with manufactured materials, making embodied connections to objects and props in a way that borders transformation. With significant training in Butoh dance, she explores the archaeology of the body, uncovering layers of forgotten life and experience. Her work is daring and often political exploring how the primal body meets the modern world. Suzi also now engages in Movement Direction for other performers including Mhairi Campbell and Mamoru Iriguchi |
