Teaching

These joyful practices and sacred responsibilities of the call and response between story and storyteller, body and imagination, self and world, have come through my ancestors, teachers, family, collaborators, students, muses, and the natural world, with her myriad of voices and deepest memories.

“Susan's coaching has transformed the way I create and view my work as an artist. My process is more intuitive, expansive, risky, and more connected to history in every sense. She as a unique way of using image, movement and word play to breathe life into memories and transform them into powerful, vibrant stories… and she doesn't shy away from the hard work of reckoning with the past.”

—Marie Schumacher, founding director of PDX Vox
