Leslie Ting
Leslie Ting is an artist who combines her practice as a classical musician with creative work in theatre, installation art, new media and experience stemming from her former career as a practicing optometrist. She loves thinking about the relationship between listening and seeing in life and performances. For her major interdisciplinary productions, Speculation and What Brings You In, Leslie has garnered multiple award nominations and support from major Canadian arts institutions.

Creative accessibility has been a throughline in Leslie’s work. As an extension of this practice, she is part of piloting a project called Anchoring Accessibility - a tangible anchor for artists teams to foster a practice of trust-building that can evolve into a long-term practice around creative accessibility.
She is deeply curious about autoethnography, and the possibilities of arts practice on the reversal of epigenetic changes, and she is currently re-examining her relationship to performing western concert music as a racialized, first-generation immigrant.
