And I-eee-I will always love you…

An intimate take on life in the desert where in the middle of a work day, everything including Lee Lee’s partner is fair game for creative interaction in coping with high temps and boredom.14:08

A semi-psychedelic and sometimes cartoonish giddy-up shot near Big Bend National park is its own western play (on old tropes and how desert living can spark the imagination to create new ones). The wild terrain and a purple mountainous backdrop offer not your everyday dance in a window frame before the winodws are added to the off-grid dance studio. 5:09

Lee Lee voices la raison de etre and mythologizes the origins of her weekly Lee Lee et Le Bus show while walking through the desert neighborhood. Characters surface through light hearted, on the fly songs, joy rituals and humorously balanced kill joy voices that surfaced during lockdowns. 11:06

Many choreographers set their work to Goldberg Variations by Bach…Lee Lee does too, here, but this video is about more than choreography. There’s also movement research, playful relating to you and the presence of the giant Pieter space.

A pep talk for the game of life is sprinkled with spritely examples.
