How To Do Stuff
New work created by Lea with 3rd year students at Northern School of Contemporary Dance is now available to view on the school website.
This project started immediately after lockdown and all the work has been created by students in their homes.
The students each created their own “How To” video, copying and improving internet content.

I have launched a Kickstarter campaign to create a new filmed version of Elvis Legs, first created for The Featherstonehaughs Go Las Vegas in 1995. This project will incorporate 3 casts of Elvis legs (9 dancers) who will perform and film the dance at home, creating a 9 panel Quarantine Mix. This project will pay unemployed dancers languishing at home to dance and will be free to watch for a lockdown audience. !8 days to go to raise the full sum. . . .
