The Sh'ma Project for Holocaust and Human Rights Art and Education

Explore this Project

Suki is bringing back her major work, Sh'ma as an artistic and educational project to be performed all over the state of Texas, pairing it with educational workshops for high school and college students. She wrote the libretto, directed and choreographed SH’MA, an evening-length choreodrama based on her family’s experience in the Holocaust. She collaborated on the original score with Yugoslav composer Mitar Subotic, a.k.a. SUBA. The work was commissioned by the People’s Theater of Yugoslavia and premiered in 1990 with 25 performers in Novi Sad, part of the Former Yugoslavia.
With the help of a space grant from the 92nd Street Y, Suki served as producer, fundraiser, grant writer, choreographer, dancer, and public relations director to revive SH’MA in New York with 13 dancers, 2 actors and 1 singer for the Harkness Dance Center Jewish Voices Series in 1998; Washington Irving HS and Temple Beth Shalom, 1999. A 40-minute version was produced by the US Army Communications Command, Montmouth, NJ, 1999. One scene was presented in the First New York Festival of Jewish Culture, at YIVO, 2001. Suki is committed to bringing SH’MA, her most important work, to diverse settings and companies.
