Biography

Lorin Sookool is a South African formally trained dance artist with an interdisciplinary practice encompassing performance, sound, film, installation and costuming. Her work is informed by an interest in exploring the role of the artist in contemporary society. Moving in and out of public and private spaces, her work is often participatory in nature.

Sookool often explores complex South African socio-political themes, with a focus on situations of racial, gendered, systemic and institutionalized violence. Sookool’s artistic practice and creative trajectory has its roots in a practice-based research that is intuitive in nature and has an emergent design. It follows a process-based approach that searches for the relationship between personal and collective themes, thereby becoming a reflective, reflexive, subject-centred practice.
