Amelia – La La La Human Steps

James Glader linked to perhaps my favourite dance troupe ever, La La La Human Steps. In a video production of a long performance called Amelia (part 1).

I first saw La La La Human Steps on their 1985 tour, Human Sex. The physicality of lead dancer Louise Lecavalier blew me away. I’ve still never seen any other dancer anything like her. The reckless abandon.

This clip unfortunately doesn’t do the live performance justice. But it will give you an idea of Louise’s work. Watch it on YouTube. (Warning – partial nudity.)

The genius behind La La La Human Steps is choreographer Édouard Lock.
