Susan Shields is an award winning choreographer, renowned performer and teacher, having recently become the director of the School of Dance at George Mason University. Her impressive accomplishments include creating works for several professional companies and universities as well as performing nationally and internationally as a member of such companies as Mikhail Baryshnikov’s White Oak Dance Project, Mark Morris Dance Group, and Lar Lubovitch Dance Company. Described by The Washington Post as one of DC’s “best-kept secrets” her choreography fuses formal ballet technique with modern shapes and movement to create innovative and emotional works. This style can be seen in ClancyWorks performance of Displaced, a personal and poignant dance of hope and heartbreak.
