Lisa’s work processes her unique observations about the absurdity of living everyday life in an aging body. With a long history in the professional dance world, she now employs movement, circus, cabaret, video and costuming as storytelling vehicles to challenge familiar narratives regarding art, beauty, age, injury and body politics. Her repertoire of performance pieces have proven highly adaptable to a variety of settings, including theaters, museums, community spaces and private residencies. Lisa invites her venues to inform and influence her performances, creating a synergy between movement and setting. Her work is continuously propelled forward by her insatiable desire to engage in an ongoing, penetrating conversation with culture, community and physical spaces. As both the world and her body irreparably evolve, her pieces continue to expand and deepen, allowing her to be heard, seen and understood, as she seeks to hear, see and understand in turn.
