LLD’s works are set in both public and private spaces, inspired by individual stories as well as community strength. From the proscenium, to underwater, to in the air, to on a historic vessel, the company’s pieces are site-responsive and immersive calling audiences into deep engagement with the work and environment. Through partnerships locally and nationally, LLD’s work has grown to encompass the creation, presentation and screening of films, museum and gallery installations, civic engagement, and educational programming signifying the power of art as a movement for change.
