""I had been thinking about a festival for the last year or so, and the choreographers I chose, I've been following over several years and really admiring their work. I'm interested in providing opportunities to develop further pieces and projects that they are interested in, allowing them some space to do research if the project calls for it. I want to create an environment where a diverse group of artists can come together and share a program.""
""In the last three or four years, we've done a lot of new projects in different cities. We had the opportunity through the New England Foundation for the Arts National Dance Project to perform work in Boston, New York, and here in San Francisco. We also mounted an international project that was performed in Lima.""
Lenora Lee Dance is hosting its inaugural New Works Festival, featuring seven selected artists to create new choreography. The festival aims to foster opportunities for artists to develop their projects and engage in research. Recent works by Lee include site-specific performances addressing the experiences of Chinese immigrants and enslaved workers. The selected artists represent a variety of ancestries, promoting intercultural exchanges and deeper artistic exploration. Lee has been inspired by her experiences performing in various cities and international projects.
