The Curiosities 14 mins Sue Healey is a choreographer, educator and dance-film maker based in Sydney, Australia. Her creative manifesto speaks to the production of a highly-detailed movement language. Experimenting with form and perception, Healey creates dance for diverse spaces; theatres, specific sites and the camera. Her live works and films embody technical excellence and high production values, and employ the finest of dancers. Associate artists Shona Erskine, Lisa Griffiths and Nalina Wait have been integral to Healey's work since 2002. Works have been described as masterful in their handling of organic human stories, space and time through dance. Her films transcend the performance space, allowing a new focus and magic to enter; time lingers, even reverses, details are enlarged for intricate scrutiny, elements are introduced in an alchemic fashion, all using the genius of cinematography and an acute awareness of movement. Sue Healey has established a reputation as a key figure in the development of choreography and has worked to build strong ties into the artistic and academic communities in Australia and the Asia Pacific. As her artistic statement reads: \n \"I create dance that acknowledges the potency of the human body to take us into the realm of the extraordinary. I believe dance to be vital human research and as a means to communicate across cultural boundaries. I am committed to creating a theatrical language that illuminates and transforms, revealing subtle layers of movement and perception.\u201d \u2013Sue Healey Collaborating Artists in The Curiosities series: Choreographer/film-maker/editor: Sue Healey Performers: Lisa Griffiths, Rachelle Hickson, Nalina Wait, Adam Synnott, Kiruna Stamell, James Berlyn, Benjamin Hancock, Narelle Benjamin Composer: Darrin Verhagen Animator: Adnan Lalani Digital Artist: Adam Synnott, Lighting Designer: Joseph Mercurio, Cinematographer: Judd Overton Language - English","videoId":6312085281112,"browse_view":"contentTypeBrowsePageIndexView","subscription":"bvl_dancesch","title":"The Curiosities - Dance Films","xml_source":"bvl_dancesch_video-vra.xml","browse_search":"SH-Curiosfilms","videoPoster":"https://cf-images.eu-west-1.prod.boltdns.net/v1/static/4171818645001/e8383fe7-5496-4e56-93c2-4e649bdb9994/7dbb017f-f0d8-480b-ace5-de37cf7d1975/1280x720/match/image.jpg","facets":"art , Art , dance , Dance , body , Body , adaptation , Adaptation , backstage , Backstage , experimental , Experimental , schoolsMovementsAndStyles , Schools, movements and styles , symbolism , Symbolism , identity , Identity , made_20102019 , 2010\u20132019 , english , English , origin_australia , Australia , video , Video , artsAndLiterature , Arts and literature , made_2000Present , 2000\u2013present , origin_oceania , Oceania , anthropology , Anthropology ,","contenttypeorder":3,"date_of_publication":2011,"productname":"bvl_all","id_search":"SH-Curiosfilms","facet":["adaptation","anthropology","art","artsAndLiterature","backstage","body","dance","english","experimental","identity","made_2000Present","made_20102019","origin_australia","origin_oceania","schoolsMovementsAndStyles","symbolism","video"],"contentType":"video","authors":"Sue Healey~Sue Healey"}
