HEIDI LATSKY DANCE (HLD) is a cutting edge, provocative dance company currently creating works that are visual representations of diversity and inclusion.
The New York-based modern dance company is dedicated to creating provocative, highly technical and physically adventurous dance under the artistic direction of Heidi Latsky, a longtime principal member of Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company.
During fall 2006, Latsky began an intensive period of creation with bi-lateral amputee, Lisa Bufano, a Boston-based interdisciplinary artist and 2006-07 Franklin Furnace Fund for Performance Art Recipient. Her evening length GIMP featuring disabled and non-disabled performers premiered at North Fourth/VSA Arts of New Mexico in Albuquerque fall 2008. Since then, GIMP has been presented at the Dublin Dance Festival, The Flynn Theater (VT), Abrons Arts Center (NYC), Boston’s ICA, Kennedy Center and Flynn Theater(VT). Excerpts have been performed at venues that include The Society for Arts in Healthcare; Boston University, MA; Dance Theater Workshop, The Society for Disability Studies Conference, The New York Reelabilities Film Festival, NYC; The Biograph/Victory Gardens Theater, Chicago; and Zagreb, Croatia. GIMP’s aerial duet was featured at the nationally broadcast CAP Awards in Amsterdam. The GIMP Project is comprised of performances and full residency and educational outreach activities. Hosts for residency and outreach activities have included Beloit College, Flynn Theater, Bancroft Middle and High Schools, Holy Cross University, Rutgers University, Barnard College and Sarah Lawrence College. Hailed by Jennifer Dunning of the New York Times as “a choreographer and dancer of uncommon intelligence and fluidity,” Latsky has been a moving force in the dance world for over 25 years, creating works for the stage, theater and film.
