In this episode of act/re/act I had the opportunity to have a conversation with Andrew Suseno, a dancer and somatic practitioner who developed Parcon Resilience, and more recently Moving Rasa - a form of site-specific dance improvisation developed from his experience within the improv and dance community as a person of the Global Majority. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation, I hope you do as well!
Here is Andrew's Bio:
Andrew Suseno is a queer, Indonesian-Chinese American residing on the unceded land of Lenaphoking. He has a Physical Therapy doctorate, Laban Movement Analyst Certification, is a Feldenkrais Practitioner, and significant dance and Contact Improvisation experience. Andrew created Moving Rasa aka Parcon Resilience as a form of site-specific movement improvisation and inquiry that centers his hybrid experiences as a diaspora person of the Global Majority. Rasa is the Indonesian word for taste or discerning feeling through the heart. For Andrew, Moving Rasa is a dynamic connection to his Javanese, Indonesian roots leaning into the full extent of his somatic and improvisational background to dismantle internalized oppression and lift up hybrid practices that invite all people across ability, age, gender and sexuality to connect to their Rasa and roots.
