VARIATIONS

revisits and merges dances and movement sequences that were created, imagined, and dreamt up by LFDT over the last five years (2017-2022). 
Fragments of these dances were captured for this film when the company reunited post-pandemic in spring 2022. 


Featuring 11 of the 30 choreographic sequences that make up VARIATIONS this film is a diary of these dances that splices, pastes, and reconstructs choreographies from the past, in the present, and for the future. These dances from here and there – some previously performed, others not - find a common place of existence in an ode to our ability to adapt; to the beauty of inseparability; and to a lesson in learning to move together again.
