A World Premiere Unfinished…a way out
Heidi Latsky Dance Company

About This Show

Three dancers express literal and figurative acts of repetition through an immersive sequence of ritualized patterns related to the many connotations of completion, including Latsky’s current interest in death and dying. Whether spanning a linear path or rhythmically pounding on a spot, each section explores different movement styles while integrating the individual characteristics of the dancers – Meredith Fages’s speed and precision, Jerron Herman’s limitless vigor, and Jillian Hollis’s juicy dynamism. Featuring a prologue danced by Heidi Latsky and Tiffany Geigel, the fashion of notorious gown designer Timothy Westbrookoriginal music composition by world-renowned concert pianist John Bayless, with arrangements by experimental musician Ximena Borges, Unfinished​…​a way out exemplifies the company’s dedication to diversity, accessibility, and inclusive collaboration.
