Film
No stranger to both sides of the camera, Leighann brings the wisdom of a mover to dance and movement based films in various capacities. It makes such a big difference to have a living breathing human on the other side of the recording device!

Promotional Materials
Whether it’s a trailer/teaser for a new piece, a teaching or choreographic reel, a new studio, location or project reveal, or an upcoming performance, tour or project promotion, these photo and video assets are meant to highlight skills, capture essence, and give the viewer a taste of the experience.
Birdhouse is a New York based dance improvisation collaborative that spent a little more than a week in residence at Pillowfort Arts Center in Andes, NY to live, work, play and explore together, with the community, ahead of a presentation.
Documentation
Capturing artistic process, attending residency projects, and witnessing works-in-progress - documenting them in various ways. Sometimes creating photo stories for later use, sometimes creating films, sometimes it's to document the culminating performance element, and sometimes it's some combination of those things.
