The Cha-Cha-Lies & Feverwhores present Tadaas!!!

July 22, 2020

Lost Duets from Yippeee!!! 2006, Performed from Hidden Locations for your Entertainment by students from Trinity Laban as part of the Historical project.

In this work the dancers were taken through the same process to create duets as the original dancers in Yippeee!!! 2006. The huge difference of course was that the dancers were in lockdown. We used this opportunity to examine the nature of a duet and to ask the question- How can a duet be created when the partners are not in the same location? This is result of that investigation.

How To Do Stuff

New work created by Lea with 3rd year students at Northern School of Contemporary Dance is now available to view on the school website.

This project started immediately after lockdown and all the work has been created by students in their homes.

The students each created their own “How To” video, copying and improving internet content.

Elvis Legs (Quarantine Mix)

April 19, 2020

I have launched a Kickstarter campaign to create a new filmed version of Elvis Legs, first created for The Featherstonehaughs Go Las Vegas in 1995. This project will incorporate 3 casts of Elvis legs (9 dancers) who will perform and film the dance at home, creating a 9 panel Quarantine Mix. This project will pay unemployed dancers languishing at home to dance and will be free to watch for a lockdown audience. !8 days to go to raise the full sum. . . .
