What Are People Saying About GIMP?

“GIMP beautifully resets preconceptions about bodies and movement.” -- The New Yorker

“Brilliant theater and dance. New, exciting and immensely pleasurable. Latsky is on to something! The work does not ignore or side-step impairment. The audience went wild -they realized that something new was in front of them and they were privileged to witness it."  -- Simi Linton, Disability Culture Watch

"The dancing was formidable, the moments profoundly moving and the end heartbreakingly beautiful." -- Maura Nguyen Donohue, The Dance Insider

“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

“An austere and immaculate meditation on the conventional and unconventional body, danced to perfection.” -- BUZZINE.com

“Daring risk-taking movement, visually exciting and deeply emotional…it is the moves of all kinds of bodies that count” -- Albuquerque Journal

“One of the truly standouts of the evening was Heidi Latsky’s "Gimp”, a true embodiment of the idea that dance was an art that transcended the physical limitations of disability and age.”  -- OFFoffoff.com

"I highly recommend seeing GIMP ... if you are in the NY City area... it's a beautiful and innovative dance performance." -- Beth Haller, Media dis&dat
