At times crafted for the proscenium, or underwater, and at times the pieces are site-responsive, immersive and interactive. Its work has grown to encompass the creation, presentation and screening of films, museum and gallery installations, civic engagement, and educational programming.
LLD is directed by San Francisco native Lenora Lee, who has been a dancer, choreographer and artistic director for the past 23.
