HIGH from Our Casa with... CORE's Sue Schroeder

So we asked Artistic Director, Sue Schroeder a few questions!

Artistic Director

2) What first drew you in to the dance world?

Seeing a solo danced by Karen Potter.

3) Someone you want to collaborate with:

Jenny Holzer

4) Favorite place to see dance in Atlanta?

Most any venue that is not a theater, though the Rialto would be my theater of choice.

5) 3 people (living or dead) you'd invite to a dinner party:

Remy Charlip, Joseph Campbell, and Marcela Lobos

6) What is your favorite type of music to dance to?

Most anything from New Orleans

7) Do you have any pre-performance rituals? If so what are they?

If I am performing, I find a place within the performance space to lay on the floor.  If I am not, I make sure to make contact with each performer before we begin.

8) Chocolate or vanilla ice cream?

Chocolate

9) Best piece of advice  you'd give a dancer before an audition:

Be yourself

10) What inspires you about the houses?

In their current arrangement, the depth of field.  I am also inspired by the simplicity of each individual structure which has given a sometimes complex sense to the choreography
