Conceived, created, and performed by Susanna Hood
She's gone away is a one-woman performance piece conceived, created, and performed by Susanna Hood. As the third in a series of works using dream and memory to touch on themes of sexuality, female power, healing, and loss of innocence, She's gone away dynamically integrates the languages of movement, song, poetic text, instrumental music, and visual design.
In a moment of sexual suspension, caught in mid-flight, a woman in the fragmented home of her mind battles to stay in her body. She spins us through a continuous cycle of animal states that simultaneously provide both the escape from and the clues back to her integrated self. This highly charged physical and emotional journey throws us into the depths of voracity, bravado, dread, despair, and release.
She's gone away premièred in Toronto at the Theatre Centre in April 2006, and has been presented by Peterborough New Dance (2007); Tangente, Montréal (2007); and Théâtre LaChapelle, Montréal (2008).
hum was founded in 2000 in Toronto by artistic director and principal performer, Susanna Hood. hum works take, as their base vocabulary, the immersive and co-dependent integration of movement, sound, text, theatre, and other media in the search for clear and provocative means through which to communicate and express vital (if elusively ineffable) human experiences. The company was founded through the collaboration between Susanna and guitarist and composer, Nilan Perera. Together, they forged an improvisatory performance practice, known as Dialogues, and then collaborated on an acclaimed trilogy of dance works that were choreographed and performed by Susanna: still (2000), Waking en-dessous (2004), and She's gone away (2006). Most recently, in early 2010, Susanna premiered Shudder, a trio inspired by the canvases of Francis Bacon, and featuring herself with Danny Wild and Alanna Kraaijeveld.
Susanna Hood is a compelling and virtuosic performer in dance and music. She began her career as a member of the Toronto Dance Theatre from 1991 through 1995. Independently, she has performed the works of various Canadian choreographers, acted on film for filmmaker Philip Barker, created music for the dance works of Louis Laberge Coté, Rebecca Todd, Eryn Dace Trudell, and Tedd Robinson, collaborated extensively with composer John Oswald and performed widely as an improviser both in dance and music. In the fall of 1998, she received the K.M. Hunter Emerging Artists Awards in Dance. She was the recipient of the 2006 Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding Performance in Dance for She’s gone away, and in 2007 she was nominated for the Dora Mavor Moore Award for Best New Choreography in Dance for her work on the Dancemakers company, loveloathing. Most recently, Susanna received the 2008 Victor Martin Lynch-Staunton Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Dance.
