Artists make the worst slaves!

Our Story
so the king died
the king's ghost / lightening laughed she sang of lust and rage unbegotten to the new dead age
their souls constituted / a freedom of dried fragrances / a language beaten into their shiva moons / sing me a song : break stones / battle one
​
Founded in 2009, L V M B began as a collective to promote the work of collaborating artists. After living and working in Paris from 2008-2016, Weléla became an advocate for women's health and Eco-Conscious Brand Partnerships. Today, this work embodies today's need of global wellness Eco-brand endorsements, festivals, as well as creative projects in cinema, digital media (pod, streaming, content) beauty, fashion and finally inclusive conversations about bridging the creative landscape and the multi-billion dollar Eco-global wellness industry.
​
Since its foundation, The LVMB Collective has been the two-time Tides Grant Recipient 2013 - 2015 and received an invitation to The Choreography Residency Lab at Dance New Amsterdam, NYC

CHOREOGRAPHY
Performance pieces using movement are not just about dance, but how you feel while creating it. Skin to skin, body to body - each work, or experience we create is one of imagination, collaboration and a sense of surrender.
​
Each work has made an impact on our clients - every project we ensure details are seamless, all aspects are imaginative and handled in a timely manner. Whenever you work with L V M B you can be sure your project will be radical, profound and honest.
ART X CREATIVE DIRECTION
We are a collective of artists x directors x makers who embrace creativity. We practice organic flow, sometimes the project has narrative, sometimes the work doesn't have an end. We collab, we believe there is no bad idea. We're pretty proud of the journey thus far.

OUR FOUNDER
W E L É L A
Weléla Mar Kindred was born (November 10, 1975) and raised in the southern California area. As a rare talent - Weléla can play roles on either side of moral law, queens to warriors, perform her own stunts, sultry dancers who sing, gypsy-indies to bohemian intellectuals. She's dedicated to complicated stories, where characters solve human raw emotion or don't come to any resolution at all.
As a world traveler, actress, yogini and strong technical dancer, she worked in theater throughout Europe for 7 years and has representation in Paris. Upon returning to the states, she was invited to South Africa by NYU to present her work as a choreographer and published writer becoming a Harvard/NYU Fellow. See her characters can be smart...
Big budget or indie she is worth every penny - her talent cannot be denied. As the founder of The LVMB Collective, LLC she is prepared to align to the highest level of art, branding and to create the most amazing stories possible.
