Joe Moran (he/him) is a British-Irish artist and choreographer with a wide-ranging practice incorporating performance, film and choreographic drawing, alongside projects in advocacy, curating and participation. 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. Joe is based in London and works widely in gallery and visual art contexts, alongside making works for the stage and in film, in the UK and internationally, informed by a fascination with the problems and opportunities of formal choreographic composition and notions of expanded choreography. Joe has an extensive teaching, facilitation and mentoring practice that is deeply informed by his practice of SRT, in which he trained to teach at both the Introductory (2006) and Ongoing (2011) levels.
Recent projects include live iterations of his film Materiality Will Be Rethought at Le Musée Transitoire, Paris (Nov 2023) and Institut del Teatre, Barcelona (June 2024), the exhibition Its contours, Its movements, part of Fest en Fest festival of expanded choreography (2022), Materiality Will Be Rethought (2020) film presentations at Rencontres Internationales, Paris, Haus der Kulturen der Wel, Berlin and Mexico City International Video Dance Festival, where it was awarded the Best Choreography Prize (2022), and Arrangement at Tanzfestival Winterthur (2022), Tanzhaus NRW, Dusseldorf (Tanzmesse 2022), Tanzwerkstatt Europa, Munich (2022) and Sadler’s Wells (2019).
