SINCE settling in Canberra in 2000, Liz Lea has established herself as an outstanding contributor to dance in Canberra.Â
Much admired as a dancer, choreographer and mover and shaker, her innovative dance works have won awards and attracted international attention for their originality and innovation.Â
âThe Pointâ, which premiered at the Belconnen Arts Centre last night (April 29) is another in a long line of memorable creations by Lea.
Unfazed when her original concept for âThe Pointâ as a collaboration with Singaporeâs Maya Dance Theatre was stymied by COVID-19 travel restrictions, Lea simply turned her gaze inwards to the local Indian dance community to bring her concept to fruition.
