SueKi Yee is a Malaysian dancer-choreographer (currently based in Berlin) who’s drawn to improvisation, site-specific work, and multidisciplinary experimentation and collaboration. With a Bachelor in Dance (ASWARA), she’s trained in contemporary dance, ballet, and various traditional folk and classical dances.
Movement has become her entry point into understanding and exploring other art forms, providing diverse entry points into her work and expanding the horizons of research, creation, and presentation. In recent years, she started experimenting with soundscapes, photo/videography, and text, pushing the boundaries of her creative expression. Some major themes that have arisen in her works include (multi-)identities and fragmentation, memories, limitations and risks, the female body, and the ephemerality of the body, especially in connection to space and nature.
Her choreographic works and dance films have been selected and presented in Malaysia, Mexico, Portugal, Germany, the Netherlands, Greece, Brazil, and Ghana. Her other experiences include working as a dance pedagogue, programmer and artist-facilitator in community engaged projects.
