SONIC ADVENTURES
Susan Hawkins is a composer and sound artist currently based in Australia. Most recently, she has been working on a number of different projects in theatre, contemporary dance, animation and live performance as one half of imaginationandmymother (iamm) with Olivia Pisani.
iamm like to go on sonic adventures with ambient, image-provoking sound, and have been seen and heard around the world, including the Tate Britain (UK), Copenhagen (KØBENHAVN - RAMT AF BYEN, Denmark), the Torino Contemporeana (Italy), and the San Fransisco Asian Art Museum (USA).
In conjunction with the antics of iamm, Susan has been developing musical work primarily concerned with exploring the conspiratorial relationship between sound, music and image in creating a platform for thought and reflection.
Susan has been artist in residence with CESTA (for the 11th Arts Festival of International, Interdisciplinary Collaborations, Czech Republic) and the Bundanon Trust (Australia), has participated in the International Course for Professional Composers and Choreographers (UK), and is currently working on numerous interdisciplinary projects in Australia, USA and Canada.
