Selected Past Works

Walking Tall.

A mesmerising Dialogue between spirit and flesh. This award winning solo weaves a complex web of emotions, dealing with race, gender, and sexuality; and, intergrates them into a meditative movement performance. Eighty women of Caribbean Heritage, between the ages of 11 to 78 years, worked with Susan in the process of creating the work.

Ladies Falling.

Rum, Sugar, Tea and the Legacy of nineteenth-century, bourgeouis English women, are all used symboloically, with humor and integrity, to examine the notion of "British". Susan has collaborated with Malcom Ellis to produce a film that is an integral part of the performance.

Excavating childhood dreams and loss, the work looks at how memory informs our identity. An installation project working with earth and 200 candles. The audience is seated on sofas and cushions in an enclosed, intimate area.

A group collaboration directed by Susan, and including, Georgia Evans, Delroy Williams, and Lisa Harley. "blue" is a ritualistic storytelling process, exploring the 'masks' we wear in our daily lives and their relationship to religion and spirituality.
