Suchu Inc

Suchu, Inc.'s mission is to promote the general public's appreciation and awareness of contemporary performing arts by:(i) giving public performances of dance and other performing arts;(ii) sponsoring special events involving such performances;(iii) providing instruction in modern dance; and(iv) directly engaging in, and sharing resources towards, the promotion of the artsSuchu, Inc. accomplishes this mission and contributes significantly to the Houston contemporary arts scene in two ways:1) through its performing group, Suchu Dance, it engages itself 9 months a year in the creation, development, and presentation of original dance theatre productions, averaging 2-3 evening-length premieres and 2-3 other performances annually in Houston and beyond, and2) through its experimental use of new spaces in presenting cross disciplinary, non-proscenium, experiential, immersive performances/exhibitions that confound the conventions and expectations of performance. Having successfully operated a traditional performance space (Barnevelder Movement/Arts Complex) for 12 years, Suchu, Inc. now works to explore a greater range of performative possibilities, thereby recontextualizing traditional ideas about dance and art spaces, and increasing the diversity of artistic possibilities in Houston.
