Originally from Romania, Adriana Minu is an artist and doctoral researcher at University of Glasgow/Royal Conservatoire of Scotland where she develops new methods of making music through her neurodivergent body.

She practices what she defines as erratic and erotic embodied voice-led composition. Leaning into her ADHD’s body bio-rhythm, she has reclaimed attentional drifts, digressions, tangents, stimming, both hyper focusing in and ‘zoning out’ as valuable creative forms. Liberated from the need for coherence, motivated instead by sensory precision determined through pleasure, Adriana creates radical works that challenge audiences and performers to inhabit modes of being that are attentionally diverse and sensorially engaged.

At University of Glasgow she teaches improvisation and experimental music practice, championing embodied ways of knowing. She has shown works both as performer and composer accross Europe and Canada. In the past, Adriana has been a visiting researcher at Concordia University hosted by the Performance Arts Research Cluster. She has recently trained in NY and LA to become a Fitzmaurice Voicework teacher and privately teaches this trauma-informed approach to voice.
