...training. But choreographers’ avid searches for such rare ability inevitably overlook one fascinating factor in human movement: disability.Heidi F. Latsky acknowledged this oversight. Previously a dancer for Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance and now a member of the Hofstra University faculty, she recently choreographed a performance featuring eight dancers, four of whom live with disabilities. Her creation—which is coming to Boston’s Institute of Contemporary Art tonight and tomorrow—is called the GIMP project, and its name perfectly exemplifies her bold and unabashed intention to honor the different ways in which...

Each seems to latch onto a particular physical characteristic—Art’s slightly furrowed eyebrows, Jane’s girl-next-door smile, Cleveland’s carefree gaze?...
...you’re here for prefrosh weekend. Someone just handed you this Crimson on your way to one of eight ice-cream socials where you have patiently asked “Where are you from?” “What are you thinking of concentrating in?” “Do you think you will come here?” 78 times. The weather is rumored to be 70 degrees, but 70 degrees in Cambridge somehow translates to what you perceive as 50. It’s cloudy. At the 80s dance you are about...
