s a performer, Joanna Dudley is unlike any other.
Yet this internationally acclaimed Adelaide singer,
director and performance artist finds it amusing that
her work surprises people, particularly other women.
“I will be told how brave I am to do certain things on stage and I

soft, comedy and seriousness, destruction and love,” Joanna said.
