Susannah Haight

Susannah Haight is a Toronto-based Visual artist, Choreographer, and Cinematographer dedicated to crafting new perspectives in visual storytelling and immersive art practices. Her work returns to the essence of humanity, exploring profound connections between nature, time, and our collective existence through multidisciplinary approaches.

As a cinematographer, Haight translates movement and emotion into striking visual narratives. Her lens captures the transient beauty of rhythm and corporeality, merging avant-garde aesthetics with experimental storytelling. Rooted in a deep understanding of light, composition, and emotional resonance, Haight’s work is a dynamic interplay of imagery and movement, making her a sought-after collaborator in independent and interdisciplinary projects.

Informed by her background in film and performance, Haight’s visual art practice transforms ordinary spaces and objects into evocative environments that reflect humanity's relationship with the natural world. Inspired by evolutionary science, her process integrates design into the choreography, creating performative ecosystems where movement and visuals collide. This approach uses principles of ecological theater, which combines evolutionary play and sensory-driven environments as part of processes in generating movement systems.

Driven by a commitment to inclusivity and universal exploration, Haight’s work disrupts conventional boundaries, challenging audiences to confront artificial constructs and rediscover their relationship to the natural world. Through sensory-rich narratives and conceptual depth, her art reimagines the possibilities of storytelling as a tool for collective introspection and connection.
