Artist Statement

Susie McHugh + Dancers raise awareness and destigmatize  mental illness through visceral and intensely emotive work.

Susanne’s stylized aesthetic is derived from codified forms that is then infused with gesture analysis,   isolation studies, improvisation, and theatricality. Her complex narratives create space for empathy and self- reflection that initiate coping, acceptance, and communication of a commonly misunderstood subject.
