“Latsky all but sets fire wherever she treads.  The balance between thrashing, full-throttle dancing and control is astonishing.  Ever heard of immaculate mayhem?” – The New York Times

Heidi Latsky is a choreographer who “beautifully resets preconceptions about bodies and movement” (The New Yorker).  Ideas about beauty are often shaped by convention, but Latsky defies convention by exposing the gorgeous virtuosity of unconventional dancers’ bodies in motion in an edgy, intimate way.  With Triptych, comprised of two live works and a new dance created especially for film, she celebrates the essence of individual dancers through movement, exults in the pure joy of movement in a piece created for herself, as an “older dancer” at 56, dancing in juxtaposition with five younger dancers, and reveals the hidden beauty of all bodies. 

Dance for Film on Location at Montclair State University makes its debut with the world premiere of Heidi Latsky's short film. With support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the project will bring three outstanding choreographers and cinematographers to campus to collaborate on the creation of short dance films.
