Lea Anderson formed The Cholmondeleys with Teresa Barker and Gaynor Coward in 1984 after graduating from the Laban Centre. In 1988 Lea established the all-male company The Featherstonehaughs. She has won three consecutive Digital Dance Awards, a Time Out/01 for London Award, a London Dance and Performance Award, and was a finalist in the prestigious Bagnolet competition. Edits is the new work. Using a drastic and compelling new way of creating movement material, Lea takes to extremes her translation of the conventions of film, photography and painting into dance. Edits draws on the peculiar elasticity of filmic time, the dramatic rhythm of film editing, the ability to heighten effect through extreme close up and while revealing the hidden rhythm achieved in film with the use of zooms, pans and tilts, creates a totally original live world of its own.
