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

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
Founder + Danse Maker + Performance Curator + Plant-Based Food Artist + Social Activist
Weléla's work probes into the hubris of the racialized body. Los Angeles + Bay area raised, her danse studies run over 25 years, her food art practice began at age 15 in the home kitchen then to the homes of Paris clients. And finally her collective - L V M B {pronounced L A M B} explores spontaneous movement of humanity and folklore.
