Dr Joanna Leah is an artist, academic and researcher whose practice explores choreographic tactics in diagrammatic drawing and writing, installation, and performance to investigate movement patterns and systems. From alternative kite flying, dancing graffiti and falling parkour Joanna’s work explores alternative ways to fracture the narratives of place and construct minor political and poetic gestures to accommodate the vibrations of different life lines. Her recent work has been exhibited with the Drawing Research Network in two international exhibitions on Drawn to Time and Drawing Ecologies in Situ and publication ‘Blubilds: drawing diagrammatic stains’ with Drawing: Research, Theory, Practice with Intellect.
