Ways of Doing

Ways of Doing is a personal exploration of a professional dancer’s hidden disabilities. Using dance and text, Suzie navigates through memories, feelings, and thoughts on how illness can impact on creativity.

Suzie is suffering from a chronic illness. As a consequence, she implements the theme of invisible disability into her work. With the help of her life and work partner Mattias Ekholm, she explores how her condition has affected her professional life, and how acceptance plays a part in finding new, artistically satisfying ways of working. By posing questions both to herself and to the audience, she hopes to initiate a contemplation of a theme that is rarely seen in dance, other than through those who are clearly and visibly physically challenged.

After Ways of Doing there will be an artist talk at 7:45pm with Suzie Davies, Daniel Mariblanca og Maria Kittilsen at the foyer stage in Bærum Kulturhus.
