Suchu Dance
Jennifer Wood, the choreographic engine behind Suchu Dance, has
been toiling away crafting dance after dance for the past 11 years. It's been said that Wood doesn't make dances -- instead,
she creates worlds where dance happens. She has directed ten full-length works and seems remarkably comfortable in the form.
Her vivid imagination, combined with a natural sense of theatricality, makes for consistently compelling adventures. This
past year, Wood's richly textured Roseburn took us to an imaginary tableau contest, and Maximal Schnapper
conjured waves, gulls and all things beachy. Suchu's dancers are unique as well: full of personality, impish charm and organic
verve. This past spring, Wood stretched her choreographic chops to collaborate with Infernal Bridegroom Productions on Medea.
It was, without a doubt, a great match.
