HEIDI LATSKY DANCE

a performance for Reelabilities

free and open to the public

Saturday, February 11, 2pm -- The JCC in Manhattan
Monday, February 14, 4pm -- 115th Street New York Public Library

Pushing her physically integrated work beyond conventional boundaries, Heidi Latsky offers a preview of Somewhere. Wildly different renditions of "Over the Rainbow," a song so easily misconstrued in the context of disability, propel a celebration of physical virtuosity, movement, invention and the sheer joy of dancing. Also included will be an excerpt from work-in-progress SOLO COUNTERSOLO featuring original music by Chris Brierley. Performance will be followed by a discussion with the artists.
