Leila McMillan
Leila McMillan is a Californian-born London-based choreographer, teacher and performer (Crystal Pite, Wendy Houstoun). Her adventurous spirit has taken her around the world, leading her to discover the work of Venezuelan dance artist David Zambrano, the creator of the Flying Low dance technique which is now widely used by international companies such as Ultima Vez and Rosas. Flying Low focuses on the dancers' relationship with the floor but also uses speed with charged movement, making it compelling to watch. McMillan leads its development in the UK as a teacher and choreographer. This Wild Card is a chance to see new works by UK and international artists working with Flying Low. This evening will feature, amongst other pieces, an extract from her new work Family Portrait, a constellation of family members dealing with love, humour, dysfunction and harmony.
