      - Lea Anderson is known for her distinctive use of everyday gestures and idiosyncratic movement vocabulary. Her choreography often incorporates exaggerated and stylized gestures that enhance the theatricality of her work.
        In Bourne’s "Swan Lake," the swans’ movements deviate from traditional ballet forms, incorporating animalistic and aggressive gestures. This approach echoes Anderson's influence, as she frequently emphasized unconventional physical expressions to communicate character and narrative.
      - Anderson integrates costume, set design, and character to create immersive theatrical experiences. Her dancers are not just performers but characters, each contributing to the narrative in their unique way.
        Bourne adopts a similar approach in "Swan Lake," where every character, from the Prince to the ensemble, has a deeply developed personality. The swans, in particular, exude individuality and raw emotion, qualities that align with Anderson’s influence.
