Su Squire is a storyteller, writer, performer and facilitator who creates work that seeks to explore the light and shadow of what it is to be human.

Su has been creating work on death, dying and grief for over ten years and set up Off the Twig in 2019 with the aim of creating a socially engaged creative practice around conversations on death and grief.

In addition to her creative work, Su is also a facilitator of the Norwich Death Cafe and Grief Tending in Community events.

As a script writer, director and facilitator, Su spent several years at Bridgwater Arts Centre delivering both in-house and outreach projects for their community theatre programme. During this time she developed her own touring work as a solo theatre artist and also wrote, performed and directed for children’s theatre company Blue Moon and street theatre company Scratch Productions.

With her subversive storytelling act, Suki SilverTongue, in which she reimagines classic tales as narrative poems with a contemporary flavour, Su has performed extensively on the festival circuit and toured nationally with INN CROWD – a unique arts project devised by Applause Rural Touring, Creative Arts East and National Centre for Writing, bringing spoken word, poetry and storytelling to rural pub audiences.
