Dan Su is a Kunming, China-born, Berlin-based transdisciplinary artist, composer, musician, and choreographer who works with sound and movement in the context of music, performance, and art. With a playful gesture, their work tells open narratives, centering around the interplay of ontology, cybernetics, psychology, and methodology. Through a personal lens, their work attempts to evoke the fifth ghostly dimension and create new experiences in unimaginable landscapes. "su dance110" is the performing name of Dan Su in the realm of sound. "Su 子煊" is their pen name.
"Hunting a vision of Raw, Pure & Uncompromising." Formally trained in dance/choreography (HZT, Berlin University of the Arts, HfS Ernst Busch, University of Wisconsin-Madison) and quantitative methodology/statistics in Educational Psychology (University of Wisconsin-Madison U.S.), they hybridize scientific and artistic thinking in their experimental design, sound research and movement research. Their choreography includes elements of bodies at the borderline, grounded in their "Lazy Body" movement practice. Their sound practice incorporates both corporeal and non-human movements, voice, self-built objects, systems, and raw materials, in combination with movement sensors and electronics. Working with rooms, sites, situations, and unplanned narratives, their practice explores and challenges what could be unpredictably experienced and perceived.
