Suhaee Abro is a performing artist born and raised in Karachi, Pakistan. She brings the mediums of movement, music, poetry and drama together to tell stories that often explore the themes of the complexities of being a human. Abro has been trained in classical dances such as Bharatanatyam and Kathak since the age of seven and later she also trained in contemporary dance. Her experience of various stage performances and T.V/Film work as a dancer,choreographer and actress across Asia and Europe has enabled her to connect with her audience in a deep and intimate way. Having done many collaborations with artists coming from other forms such as writers, painters, filmmakers, musicians, Abro continues to find opportunities to research and experience the interconnections that different art forms make with each other and to break the idea that they are separate from each other.
Suhaee Abro also uses her skills as a social and embodied activist since many years; performing at protests and events for women’s rights; doing movement workshops and classes working gently with acid burn survivors, women and children’s shelter home residents, migrant mothers and children. Through this work, she created dance, heart & mind an initiative to move towards healing through dance while connecting to our bodies and emotions. She now teaches that adjusting to different communities of people and their needs along with teaching Bharatanatyam and basics of Kathak.
Currently, Abro is based in Italy working as a freelance performing artist and dance/movement teacher.
