Leah Reinardy

Leah Reinardy is a multi-instrumentalist, improviser, and composer whose creative work is most informed by limitations. As a disabled artist, they view their limitations as parameters that spark the creative process rather than barriers to overcome. Leah studied percussion and jazz piano at Hope College in Holland, Michigan, where they served as musical director for tap master Heather Cornell for 2 years. This transformative experience led them to intentionally seek collaborations with dancers of many disciplines including tap, samba, maracatu, and ballet.
