	~~battery~~ opera was founded in 1995 by dancer/choreographer Lee Su-Feh and writer/singer David McIntosh.		"Battery opera was founded in 1995 by dancer/choreographer Lee Su-Feh and writer/singer David McIntosh.

	The work of battery opera interrogates the contemporary body as a site of intersecting and displaced cultures, histories and habits. Underlying the practice of battery opera is a dynamic dialogue and mutual attraction between opposing tensions, an exchange that is sensitive to the nuances of power and influence in the socio-political history we have inherited. Inherent in this dialogue is a search for language that both embraces and frees us from the assumptions of traditional performance structures.

			== Lee Su-Feh ==
			----
			"Lee Su-Feh is Artistic Director of battery opera. How this happened involved: Childrens’ Theatre with Janet Pillai, traditional Malay and contemporary dance with Marion D’Cruz in Malaysia, contemporary dance with Lari Leong in Paris, contact improvisation with Peter BIngham in Vancouver; and many years of Chinese martial arts with infuriatingly exacting teachers. Before coming to Vancouver in 1988, she lived in Paris, London, Indonesia and Malaysia. She speaks 6 languages badly. In 1998, she won the Prix de Jeune Auteur of the Rencontres Choregraphiques Internationales de Seine-St. Denis for her work Gecko Eats Fly. In theatre, Su-Feh has worked as a choreographer with directors such as Marc Diamond, Donna Spencer and most recently DD Kugler and Steven Hill. She has been nominated twice for a Jessie Award. In 1995, she co-founded battery opera with David McIntosh with whom she has been collaborating ever since she saw him lying, bleeding, in Kota Baru in 1985."[http://www.batteryopera.com/su-feh/]

			She also writes a blog on BlogSpot. [http://leesufeh.blogspot.ca/]


			== David McIntosh ==
			----
			"David McIntosh is a writer, singer, and the artistic producer of battery opera.

			In 1995 he co-founded battery opera with Lee Su-Feh, whom he began collaborating with shortly after he was run over while on his bicycle somewhere between Kuantan and Kota Baru."[http://www.batteryopera.com/david/]

			David also writes a blog for battery opera on BlogSpot. [http://batteryopera.blogspot.ca/]
