Suchu, Inc.'s mission is to promote the general publics appreciation and awareness of contemporary performing arts by: (i) giving public performances of dance and other performing arts; (ii) sponsoring special events involving such performances; (iii) providing instruction in modern dance; and (iv) directly engaging in, and sharing resources towards, the promotion of the arts. We fulfill our mission through our dance company, Suchu Dance, and it's use of new spaces in presenting cross-disciplinary, non-proscenium, experiential, immersive performances/exhibitions that confound the conventions and expectations of performance., increasing the diversity of artistic possibilities in Houston, making Houston a far more exciting, artistic place to be. We also fulfill our mission through our Youth Artist Opportunities Initiative--the first of it's kind in Houston to offer alternative dance training to children, providing them with positive and healthy forms of creative expression and movement.
