Biography
Collage (and related forms - assemblage and bricolage) have shaped the creation of van Leeuwen’s performance works since 2002. Altering perspective, baring process, combining different forms, questioning representation, making strange, fragmenting time, and juxtaposing imagery are principles that have informed the making of various projects; most recently Sapientia (Montreal 2019, Lethbridge 2018), Destroy She Said (Winnipeg 2018), Postcolonial Postcards (Dalnavert Museum, Winnipeg 2017), and White Bread (Edmonton 2016, Antwerp, Munich, Belgrade, 2015). Mia is also the co-artistic director of the Winnipeg based devising company - out of line theatre - founded in 2003 alongside Ian Mozdzen. Currently she is an Assistant Professor specializing in Movement and Devised Theatre in the Drama Department at the University of Lethbridge.
