“sometimes i dream of having a car... and then i borrow my housemates car” LL

Ep 40:

Leah Landau is a dance artist who creates her own solo work, and choreographs with and on others, following a particular interest in improvisation, writing and sculpture.

We met just before her Sydney premiere of Summer Bone and spoke about:

-being unknowable, indistinguishable, inextinguishable

-Tere O’Connor and his show baby

-Deborah Hay and impossibility (books)

-Ros Crisp and the access to play

-Ros Warby

-nursing the dance

-accounting for (viewers) expectation

-being shifted by a piece

-the film Leah mentions - Gerry

-Reality is Broken - Jane McGonigal

-Whelping Box - Branch Nebula

-being punished and sent to your room as similar to a solo studio practice

-hitting ones stride

-the privilege of having an interest
