Sky Su

Sky Su (he/they) dances, writes and relates, hailing from Lenapehoking, the unceded land of the Lenape people, from a Han Taiwanese family. They studied Sculpture at Edinburgh College of Art and began dancing in Edinburgh, nurtured by the local Scottish dance community, and now shares Contact Improvisation as a queer and antiracist practice. Sky has danced for Curious Seed, performing in "FIELD - Something for the Future Now", "Little by Little Field" and an Ireland/Theatre In Schools Scotland tour of "Chalk About". They have also performed at  Fruitmarket Gallery, Hidden Door Festival, Something Smashing, Leith New Music, Deepness Dementia Arts Festival, Huddersfield, Portobello promenade and various woodlands. Their work is relational and improvised, often spontaneously organised and experimental, collaborating on projects with other dancers, movers, musicians, artists and filmmakers. Sky and collaborator Gunnar Bjercke recently shared their performance ritual "reverse inheritance", an invocation of their fathers through storytelling, candle lit shadow play, a dance-struggle in semidarkness and a masked conjuration. Sky is guided by the inspiration of close friendships and the lineages of social, racial, queer, environmental justice movements and Sufism.
