SUZIE BIRCHWOOD

Suzie Birchwood is a Dancer and Dance Educator specialising in diversity and equality in dance.

Using her wheelchair, Suzie has carved out a different method of dancing, pioneering a new approach to classical repertoire. She worked as a guest artist with The Scottish Ballet, Ballet Cymru, Candoco, Stopgap Dance Company and GDance, as well as creating and performing her own works including a double bill at Sadlers Wells.

Driven by her experiences as a disabled dancer, Suzie’s choreography is defined by the discovery and nurture of individuals and their unique movement personalities. The stories that she tells through dance, express the deep link between human bodies and human experiences. Suzie now works to spread a universal approach to dance to the widest possible market through coaching and mentoring disabled artists, teachers and choreographers.

SUZIE BIRCHWOOD

Mae Suzie Birchwood yn Ddawnswraig ac Addysgwr Dawns sy'n arbenigo mewn amrywiaeth a chydraddoldeb ym myd dawns.

Gan ddefnyddio ei chadair olwyn, mae Suzie wedi creu dull gwahanol o ddawnsio, gan arloesi ffordd newydd o ymdrin â repertoire clasurol. Bu'n gweithio fel artist gwadd gyda'r Scottish Ballet, Ballet Cymru, Candoco, Stopgap Dance Company a GDance, yn ogystal â chreu a pherfformio ei gweithiau ei hun, yn cynnwys dau berfformiad yn Sadlers Wells.

Caiff coreograffi Suzie, a yrrir gan ei phrofiad o fod yn ddawnswraig anabl, ei ddiffinio gan y broses o ddarganfod a meithrin unigolion a phersonoliaethau unigryw eu symudiadau. Mae'r straeon a adroddir ganddi trwy ddawns yn mynegi cysylltiad dwfn rhwng cyrff dynol a phrofiadau dynol. Mae Suzie 'nawr yn gweithio i ledaenu ymagwedd gyffredin at ddawns ymhlith y farchnad ehangaf posibl, a hynny trwy hyfforddi a mentora artistiaid, athrawon a choreograffwyr anabl.
