In 1996 Marshall collaborated with Philip Glass to create Les Enfants Terribles, which toured internationally.

Marshall has also created dances for the Lyon Opera Ballet, Frankfurt Ballet, Boston Ballet, and Montreal Danse. Marshall has collaborated with director Francesca Zambello on the operas Les Troyens at the Los Angeles Music Center (1991) and Midsummer's Marriage at New York City Opera (1993). Hubbard Street Dance Chicago performs Kiss as part of its active repertory.
A 2000 recipient of a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Fellowship, Marshall has received a Dance Magazine Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Brandeis University Creative Arts Citation, and was one of the first artists to receive the American Choreographer Award. Since 1985, Marshall, her artistic collaborators and company members, have received a total of ten New York Dance and Performance Awards (Bessies) for their artistic achievements. The company has received awards from the National Endowment for the Arts annually since 1986.
Acknowledgements to the company include New York Dance and Performance Awards (Bessies) to dancers Arthur Armijo and Eileen Thomas for sustained achievement in the works of Susan Marshall & Company, and to Pauline Oliveros for the score of Contenders and to David Lang for the score of The Most Dangerous Room In The House.
