Miss High Leg Kick was awarded the Stomping Ground 2025 commission to present Lady Garden in Autumn 2025.

Lady Garden is an exploration of the world of flowers through performance, in a highly visual, site-responsive show about our relationship with the nature that surrounds us.

The project is inspired by Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging. It’s principles are used as a framework to inform unique live art / dance performances from individual artists which build towards a spectacular human flower arrangement. Performance elements include smell, dance, sound and costume, inviting audiences to feel part of the show.
