Artist Biography
Artist Biography
Heidi Latsky Dance is a New York-based, female-run organization dedicated to the creation of relevant, immersive performance art that is accessible to all.
Notable works include "DISJOINTED" (2006), exploring themes of illness and loss.
In 2006, a collaboration with Lisa Bufano shifted the focus towards inclusivity and diversity, giving rise to "The GIMP Project" (2006-2015), breaking traditional dance norms.
The company's ongoing installation, "ON DISPLAY," challenges societal notions of body image, emphasizing diversity and mutual vulnerability.
HLD has continued to push boundaries with "D.I.S.P.L.A.Y.E.D," a project that explores our perceptions of the human form with AR technology in partnership with Google's Creative Lab.
HLD consistently creates new works while leveraging technology to bring audiences closer to diverse human experiences. The organization hosts "ON DISPLAY GLOBAL," an annual event in collaboration with the UN on International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Additionally, HLD provides educational programs and is in the process of developing a choreographer residency
