EDUCATION

Dancing Ourselves

Defining ourselves and each other through movement and critical analysis

Dedicated to reflecting the true diverse nature of the world we live in, Heidi Latsky Dance brings rigorous, passionate, and thought-provoking work around the world. This residency program is designed to enhance each school’s curriculum needs through writing, technology, music, creativity, physical activity, social interaction, and self–reflection with an underlying objective to provide a strong model of tolerance and acceptance of both ourselves and others.Our unique company offers students widespread representation with the videos we share and physically exciting creative opportunities to explore how they define themselves and their community. Our underlying mission to redefine beauty, disrupt space and dismantle normal is gently uncovered in our educational program. Dance becomes a metaphor for lives lived in today’s diverse and divisive world and a way to nudge young people into the values of equity and inclusion.

MARS (Mindful Activation Release Study)

After decades of training a wide variety of people as performers, Latsky has codified her unique method that is the foundation of her work. Originally designed to enhance and deepen the performance experience, MARS is a practice that grounds the body through specific breathing techniques and guided rocking, bringing the participant into an effortless stillness. Because of its meditative benefits, MARS has evolved into a daily movement practice. Latsky and the company offer classes that are designed to be accessible and open to anyone regardless of experience.

Creative Brain/Healing Body Panel

A lecture/demonstration about dance and the science behind it's healing potential, tailored to the specific institution. The panel features Heidi Latsky, HLD former dancer and movement scientist from Columbia University Gregory Youdan, and a select group of doctors and dancers. Media and performance included.

A WAY IN - discovering the connection between task and truth

In this workshop, participants will be first guided through MARS as a warm up. The second half will focus on the intentions, techniques, and the experience of ON DISPLAY - our movement installation that has been disrupting the urban landscape worldwide since 2015
