Suzanne

Suzanne is a performance artist and has worked in contemporary dance for the last 12 years as a performer, choreographer and teacher.  Suzanne also trained as a journalist and has worked in both newspapers and television.  She is paraplegic due to a spinal injury and uses a wheelchair for mobility.

“I believe in seizing the opportunities that life has to offer and that our lives are what we make of them. I’m interested in challenging the status quo. As a person with a disability, I don’t want an ordinary life, I don’t just want to be like everyone else. I want to have an extraordinary life. I value diversity.”
