“When your way of seeing beauty is changed, your way of seeing the world is changed. It's this that makes Lemon Sponge Cake Contemporary Ballet Company so irreplaceable and vital to the cultural conversation around art's place in society. With the ‘Technological Age’ about to enter a new and uncertain chapter with the advent of AI as part of daily life, of fact and fiction being almost impossible to tell apart, I can think of no greater place, no more important a place, no more essential a place for an artist to create than a world that reminds us to create our own beauty. Lemon Sponge acts like a solvent on reality, and with it, we’re given a chance to see beauty in everything.”
