Lenora Lee Dance's 15th Anniversary Season

LENORA LEE DANCELLDcreates works that are both set in public and private spaces, intimate and at the same time large-scale, inspired by individual stories as well as community strength. For the last 15 years, LLD has been pushing the envelope of large-scale multimedia dance performance that connects various styles of movement and music to culture, history and human rights issues. Its work has grown to encompass the creation, presentation and screening of films, museum and gallery installations, civic engagement and educational programming. The company is directed by San Francisco native Lenora Lee, who has been a dancer, choreographer and artistic director for the past 25 years. In 2013 she was an Artist Fellow at the de Young Museum, a Djerassi Resident Artist, a Visiting Scholar at New York University 2012-2016,  an Artist in Residence at Dance Mission Theater, and a 2019 United States Artists Fellow.www.LenoraLeeDance.com
