SueKi Yee is a Malaysian dance artist who choreographs, performs, and teaches, and is currently based in Germany. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Dance (First Class Hons, 2017) from Aswara (the National Academy of Arts, Culture and Heritage, Malaysia), her major is in contemporary dance, while also being trained in ballet, and various traditional Malaysian dance forms such as Bharatanatyam, Terinai, Zapin, Silat, etc. She was a soloist in ASK Dance Company from 2016-2019. Following an ACL operation in 2019 and recovery, she started working as an independent artist.

Curious to explore the versatility of dance, she is interested in drawing from her multicultural background (dance, language, food), improvisation, site-specific work, and multidisciplinary experimentation and collaboration. In recent years, she’s also started experimenting beyond movement such as working with soundscapes, photo/videography, and text. She finds that working across disciplines widens her perception and allows for varied entry points into a work, hence expanding the possibilities of research, creation, and presentation.

Her works have been selected and presented in Malaysia, Mexico, Portugal, Germany, the Netherlands, Greece, Brazil, and Ghana. Recent artistic residencies include PARALLEL Residency, Lernlabor Berlin (2021), and Perfocraze International Artist Residency in Ghana (2022). Her other experiences include working as a programmer and artist-facilitator in community engaged projects (ex: Arts Ed Penang), and community outreach programmes through dance education. She believes that dance can be for everyone, and shares this through her teaching.
