Lizz Roman

Lizz Roman and her company have been making dances in San Francisco and the Bay Area since 1995. LR&D are best known for their trademark expansive dances that spring, roll and fly through buildings, resulting in IZZIE awards for Outstanding Achievement in Choreography in 2018 for SUNSET DANCES (2017), in 2013 for DEEPER Architectural Meditation at CounterPULSE (2012) and Izzie nominations for Outstanding Achievement in Performance-Company for SUNSET DANCES (2017) and CELLGROUND (2005). The company has developed innovative site-specific techniques to work in unique and commonplace locations with a variety of multi-media collaborators and scenic elements. In 1998, Roman and filmmaker Kevin Cunningham received the SF WEEKLY Black Box Award for Cross Genre Performance for IN HER DREAMS. In 2013, Roman was commissioned by Trolley Dances SF and performed FIFTY FIVE SIX as part of their 10 year anniversary season.
