Dan Su (su dance110) is a transdisciplinary artist and musician, born in Yunnan, China, and based in Berlin. Their artistic practice is grounded in sound, movement, and writing, all woven together with a distinctive visual language. Through poetic and abstract narration, their work explores themes of structural violence, marginalized communities, home, and grief — creating compositions and performances that reflect their inner landscape. "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 or found 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.
