ResDance Series 4: Episode 2: The dialogue between access and creativity in dance practice with Susanna Dye In this episode, Susanna reflects up her thinking and experiences working with movement and dance in community, education and interdisciplinary performance contexts. Through exploring her ways of working, she shares insight into her processes of identifying and dismantling access barriers she experiences in her professional practice.  Underpinned by her question of “what is moving me in the space”, she considers ways of transforming access barriers; her Stimming performance research project, the dialogue of the body with the environment and her future research interests.  Throughout the episode, Susanna highlights the importance of asking questions and acknowledging needs.   Susanna (they/them, she/her) works with movement and dance between community, education and interdisciplinary performance contexts. Being dyspraxic and dyslexic, Susanna’s approach has developed as a process of identifying and dismantling the access barriers they experience to training and professional practice. Informed by queer and social model of disability thinking Susanna explores ways of working/playing with movement that emerge from our felt sense of what we need, tuning into our senses, and attending to what feels good. Through this, Susanna explores creative ways to be in dialogue with ourselves, our environments and others. Since completing a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Movement: Directing: and Teaching at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, Susanna has developed their professional experience as an artist and facilitator with organisations such as Candoco Dance Company, Bush Theatre, Access all Areas and Turtle Key Arts. At the centre of Susanna’s practice is the performance research project STIMMING R&D, in which Susanna is exploring sensory seeking and self-regulating movement patterns known as stimming movements, and the creative potential of the space between stimming and dancing. This research was awarded project grant funding by Arts Council England, and was supported through residencies at The Place, Wellcome Collection, SHAPE ARTS and Siobhan Davies Studios.
