ON DISPLAY is a durational work- a deconstructed art exhibit and commentary on the body as spectacle and society's obsession with body image. Heidi Latsky’s response to the stigma attached to difference, ON DISPLAY turns a cast of diverse and extreme bodies into a sculpture court where the performers are the sculptures. This installation is done worldwide annually on the UN's International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
After These Messages - Disabled and non-disabled artists from this physically integrated company move beyond barriers, boundaries and belief to celebrate their differences with striking poses and sweeping motions that showcase each dancer’s individuality.
