Sue Healey is a Sydney-based choreographer, filmmaker and installation artist.
Her work draws its inspiration from dance as a transformative and poetic language
yet transcends the boundaries of the form, revealing the universality of movement and its significance to the human species.
With extensive experience in choreographic practice and cross-artform investigation, Healey moves seamlessly between dance, film and installation. Her work investigates the potential that lies at the shifting boundaries between disciplines, and the revelations that are sparked at those intersections. Critically, movement is at the heart of each of the works.
Her work is aesthetically unique and relevant to a wide demographic, across age and interest. It is witnessed in a diversity of contexts and spaces; galleries, public spaces, television, cinema screen and theatres. It aims to innovate in both content and form.
