We obsessively discussed what kind of impact we wanted to make. We danced to music and we looked like modern people wearing modern costumes. We called ourselves The Cholmondeleys like it was a band."

Lea Anderson’s choreographic style is known for its distinct aesthetic sensibility which draws from a wealth of contemporary culture, media, film, and art history. For over 40 years she has created dance that is irreverent, dark, and deeply affecting. Employing an expansive and collaborative approach to production, her work incorporates costumes, music, film and staging by working with a range of designers, film-makers, musicians, and artists.
