LAVA has performed all over the country, including shows in Indiana, Wisconsin, Oregon and New Mexico.

LAVA Contact Improvisation and Performance Workshop
"Everything occurred as unpredictable, but seemed to fit perfectly, and with sincerity so profound and unaware of itself that it was always taken for granted. I have a temptation to use the phrase 'childlike,' but the conversation created by the performances was really thoroughly adult in its intention, accomplishment and stature...[with] unabashed intimacy and joy of play."- Frank Martin, Review from Railyard Theater, Santa Fe, NM, June, 2007
taught by Mark Koenig, Stefanie Cohen, Luv Seamon
