Dance Performance | Dance: Heidi Latsky's Gimp


Choreographer Latsky presents a roster of performers who embody unique physical virtuosity. Outstanding technique, raw beauty and the physical poetry of risk-taking, propel the artists and the audience into the collective unknown Gimp examines the uncompromising ways we are often identified or defined by our physicality; an elegant landscape of portraits, illuminating limbs to accentuate uncommon beauty, mystery and grace; the ways in which our bodies support and rebel. Gimp confronts the audience with their preconceptions, challenging us to rethink accepted notions about dance, performance and body image. An exploration, that dives into the heart of difference, voyeurism and the unexpected.
