360° Fusion Workshop

The use of one’s 360º self – the physical, intellectual, psychological, and emotional instrument – in a fusion of theater and dance

Founded in 2004 by Andy Arden Reese and Jessica Lanius, Theatre LILA is dedicated to challenging the audience’s experience of theater by fusing theater, dance, music, and multi media into a total theater experience. Based in the European tradition of ensemble and through their unique rehearsal process of integrating physical storytelling with text, LILA bridges the gap between what is visually exciting and emotionally alive.

The goals of LILA’s ART of FUSION workshop:

1. To explore in a working laboratory the theatrical techniques of LILA’s 360º fusion – fusing psychological realism with physical expression

2. To use this theatrical terrain to explore a piece of dramatic text – get the script “off the table on the floor”

3. To culminate this “living research” into a new piece of choreographic theater

FUSION is the Future!
