LFDT’s company work intersect elements of folk and street dance structures that are manipulated and abstracted through a contemporary lens by the artists they collaborate with. Marked by a mixture of athletic rigour and experimentation, their bold and visceral works are known for their percussive energy, musical dexterity, punk spirit, and intricate movement patterns. Existing between opposites: order versus chaos; logic versus intuition; discipline versus anarchy; control versus release; and survival versus destruction, it is in the spaces between these contrasts where the company weaves togetherdance, theatre, music, and film to create works that shape-shift across time and genre, allowing the performers to try on aspects of their personas as possibilities for self-realization and freedom.
