LFDT supports the development, creation, and presentation of works that find their inspiration or form in dance.
Comprised of a contemporary dance company. An international class series, and a research platform that unites dance artists and renowned multidisciplinary collaborators with the public, LFDT creates a community of exchange that fosters dance-centered collaborations in Canada and internationally. Our projects are much the same as our classes; pushing the boundaries between the arts and humanities-and, between social phenomena and kinetic possibility.
LFDT was originally founded in New York City as a series of dance classes that were open to all levels of ability. These classes attracted an underground following that would lead to outside collaborations and self-initiated projects, thus establishing the foundation of what would become Lo Fi Dance Theory, the organization which now supports the work of LFDT, LFDTLAB, and LFDTCLASS®.
LFDT is a performance-based dance company comprised of artists who collaborate on new works under the direction of choreographer, Wynn Holmes.
LFDTLAB is a platform for interdisciplinary arts research and education that results in the production of collaborative works informed by artists, scientists, educators, activists and the public.
LFDTCLASS® is a training designed for anyone wanting to gain a deeper understanding of their own movement preferences, build a unique movement vocabulary, or expand their options for generating choreographic compositions. It is open to all-abilities and offers a communal and inclusive approach to movement.
