Workshops

Leman offers practice-based workshops exploring long-durational performance, the body as archive, potential and limits, and queer temporalities. The workshops draw on both their own artistic practice and broader artistic and theoretical frameworks.

Workshops can be developed for artists, students, and practitioners at various stages of their practice, as well as anyone interested in exploring performance art.
