HEIDI LATSKY BIO
Heidi Latsky’s thirty-five-year dance career began in Canada, continued with Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, and culminated in 2001 when she founded Heidi Latsky Dance. A critically acclaimed, innovative, and influential leader in the physically integrated dance field, Latsky has toured internationally and presented at institutions such as American Dance Festival, Cooper Hewitt, the High Line, ICA Boston, Joyce Theater, the National Portrait Gallery, and the Whitney Museum. The company was featured at Lincoln Center’s 75th Anniversary of the Jerome Robbins Dance Division. Latsky’s keynote speeches have impacted audiences at APAP, Arts for All Abilities, Barnard College, the Chicago Humanities Festival, Harvard University, and the Maxine Green Institute. She has presented at TEDxWOMEN and a feature on her work, GIMP (2008), was nominated for an Emmy.
Latsky’s ventures into technology and fashion have resulted in partnerships with the Fashion Institute of Technology, Google’s Creative Lab, the Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities, NuVu Design Studios, and Positive Exposure. She has received awards from the Canada Council for the Arts, Creative Capital, the Ford Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and NYSCA, among others.
Latsky’s film Soliloquy has screened worldwide, and her live sculpture ON DISPLAY created for the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act is now a global phenomenon, performed annually on the UN’s International Day of Persons with Disabilities, at over seventy sites. Latsky continues to disrupt space, dismantle the meaning of normal, and redefine beauty.
