“We decided we'd call the show Play to the third power…playing
with sound + playing on sculpture + playing through space,” said Ela
Lamblin and Leah Mann, creative dual forces and cofounders of this
amazing group. “The gist of the show will be as much of our best new
and favorite work that we can fit into the Blue Heron space.”
Island residents, musician/sculptor, Ela Lamblin and choreographer,
Leah Mann began their collaboration in 1992. Using sculpture, music
and movement, they develop themes based on myth, nature and spirit
to delight the soul. Suitable for all ages, international audiences
are enthralled, amused and transfixed by their theatrical feats.
Whether they are spinning in a metal cup or dancing on a musical
tightwire, Lelavision offers highly unusual and unexpected
entertainment with a distinctive flair toward genius.
When Ela was six years old his father made a deal with him: "I won't
buy you any toys, but I'll help you make anything you want." The
result? Innovative works of awe whimsy, Lamblin’s sound sculptures
create harmony of sound, form and movement, a visual and sound
spectacle. One of Lamblin’s instruments toured with the Smithsonian
Institute exhibit, “Heart and Hands, Musical Craftsmen of America,
also a photo documentary. Lamblin has received numerous awards,
grants and commissions and has collaborated extensively with UMO.
Mann’s choreography pulls from many forms, but is focused on dance
as a mind/body/spirit practice. She founded award-winning arts and
urban outreach program, Moving in the Spirit. Mann currently
administers Lelavision’s Integrated Music, a program that brings
musicians and singers to bedsides of Harborview and UW Medical
Center’s patients, a program that has received numerous grants and
widespread recognition. Mann also teaches developmental movement at
Vashon Community Care Center.
Appropriate for all ages, you will walk away in wonderment!
