Leslie Bishko’s work is centered on the dynamics of expression through movement in the medium of animation, influenced by abstract experimental animation and contemporary modern dance. Exploration of these themes led her to integrate 3D computer animation with Laban Movement Analysis (LMA), which are the focus of her research and teaching. Recent work includes chapter contributions on LMA and interactive animation for the book Nonverbal Communication in Virtual Worlds: Understanding and Designing Expressive Characters.

- 3D character animation: biomechanics, expression, posture, gesture, acting, dramatic scene dynamics
- Animated and cinematic storytelling, cinematography and editing
- LMA and the animation process
