Lena Dunham Did An Interpretive Dance To Sia's "Chandelier" Last Night

Though from the looks and sounds of it, it doesn’t seems like audience even recognized the special guest was Lena Dunham. While Sia laid face down on a loft bed, Dunham (sporting Sia’s signature hair) performed an interpretive dance number, an homage of sorts to Sia’s original music video in which Maddie Ziegler from Dance Moms performed a powerful routine.

Dunham’s version incorporated life-sized placards (of a carrot, stick figure, skeleton and tear drop), toilet paper, theatrical skipping, and spooning. Very Lena Dunham I guess. I’m not sure how well it translates live—the contrast between Sia’s booming voice and having merely one person whimsically twirling around on a stage was a bit awkward. I dunno, part of me thinks they could have partially remedied that by simply playing the music louder?

But you gotta give it to Dunham—she definitely committed to that girly bedroom rage-dance we all know so well. I mean she nearly shook that wig right off her damn head.
