An excerpt from Suzanne Morrison's solo show "Yoga_Bitch," directed by Jean-Michele Gregory, filmed at Theatre 503 in London.
Suzanne Morrison’s "Yoga Bitch" kicks off four consecutive solo shows at TheaterWorks. The play is the actor/writer’s personal narrative of a two-month yoga retreat in Bali, Indonesia, where she was exposed to highly unusual practices, became disillusioned by her master teacher, and had to redefine her own spirituality.Morrison is a Seattle native transplanted in New York City. She has performed "Yoga Bitch" in the Big Apple, Seattle, as well as London. The London Evening Standard called the play “a lot of fun” and said she gave an “assured performance, capturing humor…and delivering an excellent physical performance.”
Morrison graduated from the University of Washington...and started practicing yoga after graduation. She says yoga offered her serenity and a way to unpack the bags her Catholic roots filled with “guilt and repression, and a fixation on how a woman’s sexuality was sinful.”
In between relocating from Seattle to New York, she went on the Bali retreat with her respected and trusted yoga mentor. “I wanted to be like her,” Morrison says, “as tall, as beautiful, and as serene.” More>>
