Liz Lerman is a choreographer, performer, writer, teacher, and speaker. She has spent the past four decades making her artistic research personal, funny, intellectually vivid, and up to the minute. A key aspect of her artistry is opening her process to everyone from shipbuilders to physicists, construction workers to ballerinas, resulting in both research and experiences that are participatory, relevant, urgent, and usable by others.

Artist Liz Lerman is consumed by 3 ideas…

The Whole World is in Motion

Wouldn’t you think the knowledge that choreographers and dance artists hold would be of greater value? We have a deep understanding and the curiosity and drive to closely investigate ideas of proximity, weight, geometry, touch… This whole world is in motion, and we have the training, the creativity, and the reflexive instincts to relate to that in a meaningful way.

You Start Judging and Being Judged in the Womb

Yet, how often do we talk about the way we give each other feedback? Liz Lerman developed Critical Response Process (CRP) to approach giving and getting feedback with greater intention. The framework, now used across the globe by practitioners in the arts, academia, and business, is designed to leave the maker eager and motivated to get back to work.

The Body as Radical Canvas

The body is informing us constantly, (including our imagination) — so, how can we listen to it? In addition to mastering the steps, dancers need to develop a relationship to the movement that makes us feel convicted about it. Without that conviction, we don’t perform with investment… For decades, Liz has been developing an Atlas of Creative Tools to spark the connection we have to the stories inside us and inform how we approach material with bodily wisdom.
