Mission

LV Dance Collective is a Contemporary Fusion Bay Area based performing company, under the Artistic Direction of founders/choreographers Kao Vey Saephanh and Martha L. Zepeda. LVDC uses movement to inspire, to communicate, to overcome, and to educate. While focusing on creating works LVDC strives in the health of the mind, body, and soul through various creative initiatives including movement exploration, workshops, classes, and collaboration. Through movement one can do anything.

 

Project

LV Dance Collective plans to engage in a residency at The Garage to work on a collection of collaborative works with the theme “Search of Truth and Identity”: how culture, human upbringing, and parental ideals hold individuals to expectations. The project is an expression towards a “Quest for Truth”, personal truth of who we are while learning to understand ourselves and not fall into “Cultural Expectations”.
