"Latsky, a mover and shaker if there ever was one ... her career as part of the socially conscience Bill T. Jones Co. is now the stuff of legend. She has turned her zestful creativity and huge unstoppable energy toward "GIMP", which highlights uncommon virtuosities and the raw beauty of bodies" Time Out, Chicago |

MOVED TO SEE MORE THAN 'DISABLED' By Emily Macel
The Washington Post
Posted: July 24, 2009
"The dancers of Heidi Latsky's "GIMP," which was performed in excerpts at the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage free performance series on Wednesday, are of mixed ability. In "GIMP," presented in conjunction with the National Forum on Careers in the Arts for People with Disabilities, Latsky asks us to look at people for what they are capable of, rather than what they can't do."
