Arts Nova Scotia and the Creative Nova Scotia Leadership Council congratulate Susanne Chui who has been selected to receive a 2024 Established Artist Recognition Award.
Susanne Chui is a mother of two, an award-winning dance artist, and Co-Artistic Director of Mocean Dance. Her artistic practice, rooted in sensing and responsiveness, draws inspiration from the world's aliveness and intrinsic creativity. As a performer, Susanne has worked for over 25 choreographers from across the country, and her dancing in Mocean’s Canvas 5 x 5, by Tedd Robinson, earned her the 2016 Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia’s Masterworks Award. Susanne collaborates across disciplines, and she’s a member of Becoming Old Growth collective with musician Erin Donovan and poet Basma Kavanagh. A passionate improvisor, her practice is deeply influenced by working with the late Jerry Granelli for nearly a decade through the Creative Music Workshop, where she is a faculty member. Her most recent work, Where Dance and Music Meet, featured 19 performers in a dynamic play of spontaneous composition.
