Suzanne Liska (MFA Dance Choreography, Certified Alexander Technique Teacher) specializes in choreography, performance-as-research, somatics, dance kinesiology, East Asian dance/theatre and solo/contact/ensemble improvisation. Her artistic and scholarly practices are shaped by her diasporic mixed-Asian Canadian cultural background and somatic dance theatre practices. She is thus committed to exploring the interrelatedness of mind, body, and identity and the role of movement in questioning, inhabiting/embodying, and transforming intergenerational reverberations. Suzanne has received grants and awards through CCA, TAC, OAC, York University and SSHRC; and is contract faculty for York University’s Dance Department and George Brown College’s Theatre School. www.suzanneliska.com
