Current Touring Projects

IF (Premiere December 2010)

Heidi Latsky Dance's current work in progress.

Widely recognized for the virtuosity, passion and intensity she brings, Latsky's new work is no exception and takes the 2008 critically acclaimed GIMP, a portrayal of "the other" as extraordinary, to a new level.
 
IF is a tapestry of movement featuring original music by Chris Brierley and Randall Woolf. With a 20-person, multicultural, multigenerational cast of all abilities, Latsky again dissolves the boundaries of traditional dance and explores complex new terrain by giving a collective voice and space to this diverse company of dancers.

GIMP redefines virtuosity through the collision of disability and dance.  At its heart is GIMP, a 70-minute dance theatre event featuring four trained dancers and four performers with physical disabilities: an aerialist with a strong, beautiful torso and no legs; a performer whose cerebral palsy gives him a rhythmic stride like no other; a woman whose arm sensually caresses her body in a wholly unique way because it tapers into "a smooth point."[1]  Working with this new palette of limbs, GIMP "forces our eyes and minds to perceive beauty not as a static artifact of conventional perfection but as a dynamic construct of effort and intentionality," Ivan Sygoda of Pentacle, and is "a gleaming milestone in the progress of contemporary dance and theater,"  Theodore Bale of Dance Magazine.
