Johanna Householder’s interest in how ideas shape bodies and has led her often collaborative practice in performance art, video and other media. As a member of the feminist performance ensemble, The Clichettes (with Louise Garfield and Janice Hladki), throughout the 80s she helped establish lip sync as a viable medium for political critique. She has recently performed at VIVA! in Montréal for the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria (2017), in Residuals, a retrospective look at her own work at the AGO (2016), and at Performancear o Morir in Norogachi, Mexico. With Tanya Mars, she has co-edited two books: Caught in the Act: an anthology of performance art by Canadian women (2004), and More Caught in the Act (2016). She is a founder of the 7a*11d International Festival of Performance Art, held biannually in Toronto. She is a Professor in the Faculty of Art and Graduate Studies at OCADU, where she has taught performance art since 1988. She is a recipient of the Price Award for Teaching and the OCAD University Award for Distinguished Research, Scholarship & Creative Activity.
