MISSION
VISION
Grounded in seasoned improvisational practice, LSDC makes dances to honor the individual, the collective and to enliven a sense of place. LSDC collaborates with artists of multiple disciplines and perspectives to investigate the intersections between body, sound and site. The ARTroomstudio is a creative branch of LSDC, acting as a home to a vibrant community of artists in Philadelphia dedicated to making, supporting and sharing creative practice, research and performance.
Inspired by the physics of movement and the forces of nature, Artistic Director Leah Stein aims to invoke and illuminate the living histories of built and natural spaces. Stein seeks to mutually transform audiences and performers in an equally occupied space. Stein values a sustainable and cross-disciplinary artistic community that stirs new perspectives about the interactions between people, their cultures and the physical environment. The dynamic group of dancers and collaborators works collectively to realize Stein’s vision.
