Flow by Lian is a sponsored artist with The Performance Zone Inc (dba The Field), a not-for-profit, tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) organization serving the performing arts community. Contributions to The Field earmarked for Flow by Lian are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
“SteLi Dance company members poured so much energy and incredibly artistry into our play reading, and were able to make the very most of our limited schedules and space availability in order to deliver a beautiful and heartfelt performance. After the play reading that featured SteLi dancers, audience members were raving about how impactful and touching the dance element of the show was, and how they absolutely loved everything from the movements to the facial expressions to how they took up space on stage. I had the best time and am so lucky to have been able to work with SteLi Dance, and highly recommend finding ways to work with them in your artistic endeavors.”

“The dancers interpreted your choreography so fluidly I was convinced one of them had to be the choreographer. The communication and subsequent product between you and your performers is astounding. I wept. I smiled. It was heavy for me in the best of ways. I will never forget that performance tonight. I am shook. Thank you.”

“Into- You- I- See, es un workshop que me ha dejado una visión distinta en el empleo de herramientas para diseñar o componer desde el cuerpo. Principalmente destacó la facilidad de la Directora Lian, en esa manera de manejar el ritmo de la sesión proponiéndonos através de preguntas; una construcción policorporal al dar y recibir con el otro dándose ese punto de reflejo con los demás.”

Mainly, the ease of Director Lian stood out, in that way of managing the rhythm of the session by proposing questions; a polycorporeal construction by giving and receiving with the other, giving that point of reflection with the others.”

"I signed up for the Into-You-I-See Series. I found that each week, I became more and more comfortable in my body. I thoroughly enjoyed the process of discussion, observing natural movement, and creating a dance as a whole. Lian, who is the co-founder of SteLi Dance and creator of Into-You-I-See, is so uplifting and refreshing with her enthusiasm. She creates a safe space to explore and be in this process."

“I look forward to join the Into-You-I-See workshops every month because it creates a space for me to connect deeply with my fellow participants that I don't have the ability to do in my daily life. The questions can seem scary at first, but I feel supported in the workshops. It makes me feel like I can tackle the subjects in the questions more head on."​

"This entire pandemic has blown up and magnified the ways in which our society has failed our people. Part of the quarantine experience has been watching this all unfold in isolation and silence. I come to SteLi Book Club to partake in a collective creation of hope that is desperately needed."
