What to see this week at American Dance Festival
Heidi Latsky Dance
Why go: A former dancer with the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, Latsky creates choreography that combines wild abandon with extreme control, while embracing the human body’s differences and levels of ability.
What’s on: “Solo Countersolo” pits Latsky against a frenzied ensemble; “Somewhere” takes an intimate look at the many ways bodies can move within physical limitations; “Soliloquy” is a film Latsky made focusing on individual parts of 10 dancers’ bodies.
