Leisa Prowd

Artist

Dance and Movement, Theatre and Performance · Cranbourne, VIC

I am a contemporary dancer and performance artist whose practice explores Butoh, contact improvisation, and the uniqueness of the body in space and relationship to others. I have performed with Weave and Rawcus across theatre, festivals and film. My short film Archiving the Body has screened internationally. Since 2021, I have performed with Unusual Symptoms at Theatre Bremen in Harmonia by Adrienn Hód, touring Europe & Asia. A 2022 Arts House Warehouse Residency recipient, my solo I Am (Not) This Body premiered in 2023. I am a guest artist with (it’s no) drama in Leongatha.

About their work

I am a contemporary dancer and performance artist exploring Butoh, contact improvisation, and the body’s relationship with space, movement, environment, and other bodies through an embodied practice.

ADNA acknowledges the lived and living experience of people with disability and their family members, carers and supporters.

We recognise the huge contribution people with lived and living experience make to ADNA's work, disability advocacy, and arts and culture in general.

ADNA uses ‘person-first language,’ emphasising the person, not the disability. As a disability-led organisation, we also embrace ‘identity-first’ language, acknowledging disability as identity.

ADNA acknowledges the many Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia. We honour their Elders past and present. We cherish the richness of First Nations peoples' artistic and cultural expressions.
