Susanna Recchia

Susanna is an Italian dance artist and somatic educator living in the UK since 2001. She studied dance at the National Academy of Dance in Rome, and is a Graduate of Laban. Following a Foundation Course in Dance Movement Therapy at Goldsmiths University, she obtained an MA in Dance and Somatic Well-being at Lancashire University.  Her ongoing practice is fed by Body & Earth, a yearly meeting led by Andrea Olsen and Caryn McHose since 2004.  Her work shifts between performing, teaching, mentoring and researching in academic and artistic contexts. Susanna is currently the Research and Rehearsal Director of Candoco Dance Company, and has worked with the company in different capacities since 2008: as a company teacher, dancer and Candoco Artist co-leading educational and performative events. Now more than ever, she is committed to share her somatic based work as a form of resource to support herself and others through the challenges that life presents.
