Choreographer Heidi Latsky is best known for her pioneering work "The GIMP Project," which features disabled and nondisabled dancers. Having presented "GIMP" to tremendous acclaim in 2010, CHF brings back its creator to reflect on a remarkable career that has taken her from principal dancer in Bill T. Jones’s company to boundary-pushing dancemaker.

This program is presented in partnership with the Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago.

This program was recorded on November 2, 2014 as part of the 25th Anniversary Chicago Humanities Festival, Journeys: http://chf.to/2014Journeys
