About the work: Drawing is an established part of Joe Moran’s choreographic work often deployed as instructional scores or a means of documenting, processing or thinking. Since 2018, Joe has experimented with extending his drawing practice in the spirit of expanded choreography – addressing the choreographic as form, subject and discipline that may be distinct from dance and dancing. His drawing practice has evolved to include working in spray paint across varying media and scales.

Bio: Joe Moran (he/him) is a British-Irish artist and choreographer with a wide-ranging practice incorporating performance, film and drawing works, alongside advocacy, curation, critical writing and participatory projects. His work centres the body and embodied presence as a site of complex subjectivities and political unrest with queering frequently deployed as its principal critical strategy. The core of his practice arises from an expansive approach to notions of self and identity, and the means by which movement and the choreographic may unfix and make mobile various systems of social constructions, alongside a fascination with the problems and opportunities of formal choreographic composition and notions of expanded choreography.
