Covering a broad scope of instrument types and sound-propogating principles, these innovative instruments go beyond the traditional to explore new ways of creating music. As the sculptures are animated by the performers, they become live kinetic art elements for theatrics and spectacle.

Recent Work
the Heavy Metal Devices
of Lelavision and Friends
What: Performances
Where: Open Space for the Arts, Vashon Island
Over the past twenty years, Lelavision co-director Ela Lamblin has devised over twenty odd archetypal metal devices that can be used in all manner of surprising ways. This performance is a retrospective of these peculiar devices and their human collaborators, namely Lelavision and their friends. “We are planning to fill Open Space For the Arts with big objects as likely to flip a body 16’ in the air on a steel pyramid as they are to produce exotic melodies that would sooth the wildest child or the staunchest art critic.” says Ela. Some spin, some rock, some fly, some are worn as costumes. Some are bowed, some honk, some sing, some are hit, some crash. All the contraptions are equally at home as apparatus for contemporary dance and physical theater as they are being devices for ambient musical transport. Lelavision Co-director and choreographer Leah Mann has spent the past 20 years working closely with Ela and his objects to create performances in which the playing of these contraptions is a fluidly formed experience of bodies collaborating and becoming one with objects moving through space, generating patterns of movement and sound simultaneously. Lelavision’s “Friends” happen to be a cast of stellar talent including theater maven Steffon Moody, dancers Abby Enson and Lynelle Sjoberg, and musicians Jason Staczek, Eric Chappelle, Arlette Moody, and Christopher Overstreet.
