Leonie’s pieces feature live song\, genre-fluid dance and physicality\, and frequently include voluntary audience participation and communal rituals. She creates highly physical\, dark humor theater landscapes populated by pseudo-historical\, multilingual narratives that often center matriarchal lineages and imagine nature as a main character. In NYC\, she has presented work at Target Margin Theater\, Performance Space NY\, BAM\, The Whitney Museum\, The Brick\, Center for Performance Research\, and other venues. Leonie produces much of her work through her free-form theater company LOCAL GRANDMA. She is an alumna of the Clubbed Thumb Director’s Fellowship\, Mabou Mines Resident-Artist-Program\, and BAX Upstart Program. www.leoniebell.org \nLOCAL GRANDMA is a free-form theater company that creates and produces live performances\, multimedia videos\, and other interdisciplinary\, genre-fluid projects. LG is based in Lenapehoking/Brooklyn\, NY and hosted by German-American artist Leonie Bell. Leonie started LG in 2020 as a support structure to help her produce her own work on a larger scale after showing it in mostly one- or two-night festivals. LG features a fluid combination of new and returning artists per project. To date\, LOCAL GRANDMA has produced four projects\, two multi-weekend theater productions\, and two multi-media films. LG has worked with over 80 local and international artists and shared work with over 1300 virtual and in-person audience members. In 2025\, they launched their first sliding scale workshop series featuring two clowning workshops hosted by Hannah Mitchell. www.localgrandma.org \nFind them: @local_grandma_party @leonbellstein @galactic_celia @karenrboyer @jonschatzberg @forestbents @baileyvanschepen @nasa.nerdonaut @collective.privy @cheeeeeekss @theodor.gabriel @jullietteh @johnrhowley @marcirenee04 @hanna.westi \n\nContent warning: Death\, gore\, suicidal ideations\, strobing lights\n\nThis project was made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and the Mental Insight Foundation.\n\nThe Brick is a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
