LFD, a six-member contemporary company based in San Francisco, fuses modern dance's forceful energy with the kinetic precision of ballet. Liss Fain has more than 45 pieces to her credit, many of which integrate the work of film-makers, video artists, composers, actors, and technologists. These collaborations include work with the Apple Multimedia Lab, MIT, San Francisco Exploratorium, Word for Word Performing Arts Company, Kikkum Media, and many others. Her 2007 collaboration, Flood, with film-makers Drew Takahashi and Richard Kizu-Blair, was presented by Jacob's Pillow. LFD presents collaborations, performance installations and pure dance pieces by Liss Fain and invited choreographers from around the world. Her work expresses the unpredictable course of events that comprise one's life and peoples' responses to unforeseen situations. For the past six years LFD has performed at festivals in Germany, Poland, Belarus and St. Petersburg, Russia. In 2006 the company appeared daily at Southside Theater in Edinburgh during a three-week residency as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. International appearances have been sponsored U.S. Embassies in host countries, Trust for Mutual Understanding, USAI, Dance USA, Silesian Dance Festival, the Open Look Festival and International Dance Forum. LFD's performance installations were launched in 2010 at Beck & Eggeling Gallery. For more information, visit www.lissfaindance.org.
