Inlet Dance Theatre : Cain Park 2011

laurensusanna — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 20:19:03 +0000

This summer, Inlet Dance Theatre of Cleveland, OH put on an extremely powerful performance at Cain Park as part of their Summer Dance Intensive – a 6.5 week intensive, where aspiring dancers come from all oer the nation and abroad to study. I loved being a part of documenting Inlet’s incredible approach to teaching, mentoring and collaborating to create 3 new pieces of choreography on the students and integration into established Inlet repertory with the company members. Below is a small glimpse into the journey through performance week at Cain Park, beginning Monday in a first dress rehearsal to final performances Thursday afternoon and evening.

Without Words : Promotional

laurensusanna — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 00:05:51 +0000

It is a blessing to have both of my most beloved art forms collide. This past Saturday afternoon, I was on both sides of the camera as a photographer and dancer for Without Words. I am collaborating and creating with an intimate group of 7 dancers to create this compelling, heart wrenching work – moving against the sex trade. I am learning and growing immensely as I am stretched in spirit beyond my comfort to portray this work as it should be.

These are a few of my favorites from our time together, showing both darkness and hope. We have quite a journey ahead of us – keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Do consider giving to the cause, so we can bring awareness in a new, needed and compelling way on the stage June 4-6, 2011 at Cleveland Public Theatre.

You’ll see these photographs featured in upcoming promotional materials for DanceWorks 11.

Playhouse Square: Report to the Community

laurensusanna — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 02:44:06 +0000

This past November, I had the privilege of shooting for Playhouse Square, depicting and documenting different stories of people here in Cleveland who have had their lives changed, and in turn changed lives, through Playhouse Square. I also was strongly effected and changed through doing this work. Tonight, the stunning video film work of Think! Media was released on Playhouse Square’s website. Take the time to watch each short video of Corey, Dianne, Jack and Kathy’s personal stories and connection with Playhouse.
