Emilee Lord is a visual and performing artist. She investigates the multiple ways a drawing can be made, performed, and defined. She creates durational performances, installations, works on paper, and dance theater works. Her current research explores ideas of accumulation, imperfection, solitude, memory, and drawing as a performative act. She has studied Audio Description for the last two years and firmly believes in inclusive design practices. She received her BA from Bennington College in sculpture and dance in 2004 and her MFA in Fiber from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2007. She has been an artist in residence at Vermont Studio Center, Santa Fe Art Institute, Jentel Artist Residency, and SIM in Reykjavik, Iceland. As either a visiting artist or professor, she has taught and lectured at Pratt Institute of Art, Caldwell University, College of Dupage, Bergen Community College, and Bard High School Early College. Lord writes and serves as lead editor for ThINKingDance, an online journal. She has performed and exhibited nationally and internationally, including in Santa Fe, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Reykjavik, Reggio Emilia as artistic director for THE DECK, and Toronto. She lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
