HOME, a collaboration of Sue Schroeder (dancemaker) and Adam Larsen (filmmaker), connects the foundations of human existence — home, body and nature — as inextricably linked. Experienced through the integration of nature, architecture, story, the moving body and film, our story stretches between finding and losing oneself, reflections on the places we call home, with an emphasis on nature within human nature.
Filmed in France and Poland, Larsen and Schroeder, alongside an international community of artists create connection, impact, and meaning through a visually rich and poetic experience of beauty and loss, tenderness and urgency, action and recognition.

– ecology, from the Greek oikos, or “house, and logia, or “the study of,” denoting the study of the relationship between organisms in the house of life
HOME embodies universes of thought and feeling, huddled together in a finite space. The work is gentle and steadfast, sharing and protecting life and in its surest moments, revealing the “we”, instead of the “I”. HOME offers an enduring gift of reminding us how art becomes a lens on the world, on space and on time — a pinhole through which we can magnify the significance of our world, what we build and eventually leave behind. Out of devotion to beauty, Larsen and Schroeder offer an homage that stands as a treasure at the intersection of art and life preserved through film, restored by touch, excavated by hand, and seeded into new life forms…HOME.

Her work has appeared throughout the United States, as well as Mexico, Israel, France, Germany, Poland, Georgia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Iceland, United Kingdom, Sweden, Canada, Guatemala, and Hungary. Schroeder’s multidisciplinary vision has led to collaborations with major voices in dance, music, spoken word, visual arts and design.
Additionally, Schroeder is recognized as a leading arts activist, mentor and the founding artistic director of Core Dance. As a contemporary artist and dance maker, Schroeder focuses on the creative process, movement research, exploration, and dance-making as a catalyst for social change.
Under the umbrella of Core Dance, Schroeder facilitated the creation of DanceATL, a dance service organization that nurtures and promotes dance as a vibrant part of Atlanta’s arts ecosystem. DanceATL connects artists to resources, grows and engages audiences in the city and supports the full range of the industry by cultivating an awareness and appreciation of dance that is sustainable and expansive.
