BODYECOLOGY
BodyEcology is a practice centred in relationship and inclusion. Zsuzsi Soboslay is its founding practitioner. She works as a performer and director, choreographer, artist, writer and bodywork therapist, nationally and internationally. The practice makes contemporary some of the most ancient shamanic principles: that everything has life and ‘language’ and deserves our consideration and respect.

We all live in stories: We don’t need to be stuck in the bad ones
Therapeutic storytelling can expand our narrative, refresh stuck points, help us find new ways of thinking, give agency over our story and discover the power to create our futures differently.
BE performance projects range from site-specific events to inclusive community classes, professional collaborations and events at national institutions such as the National Gallery of Australia, the CSIRO and the National Film and Sound Archive.
Zsuzsi’s work as a writer spans essays, playscripts, and two decades of writings on relational philosophy, music, dance, art, theatre and performance. She has curated three nationally-significant museum exhibitions. In 2020 she was awarded PhD focussed on care ethics in community arts practices.
