Perform in ON DISPLAY HARVARD 2025, a movement installation that is part of a worldwide social justice initiative created by Heidi Latsky Dance!

Students and community members with (apparent or unapparent) disabilities or without disabilities are all invited to participate as performers of the work which will be presented at Harvard Art Museums on December 3rd, in honor of the U.N’s International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

Following an improvisational movement score created by choreographer Heidi Latsky, performers will create sculptural compositions of their own making, on their own terms, and which will evolve in real time. Designed for all bodies and abilities, the work involves stillness, slow movement, and internal focus.

Participation entails attending a training session on Thursday, November 20, 6-8pm, at Harvard Dance Center, and performing the work on Wednesday, December 3, 12-1pm, at Harvard Art Museums.

Harvard undergraduate students, led by Sarah Yee '28 and Helen Hou ‘28, will be creating one-of-a-kind wearable art pieces for each performer.

No previous dance or performance experience required! Total number of performers are limited and prioritization will be given to Harvard undergraduate students.

Accessibility

The movement score for ON DISPLAY is accessible for all bodies and abilities as the movement itself is derived from the performer. Although the work is durational and meant to last the hour, participants will be offered options for shortening the time they are performing as needed. Harvard Dance Center (training session) and Harvard Art Museums (performance space) are accessible for wheelchairs and other mobility devices.

The performance of ON DISPLAY HARVARD 2025 will offer sighted guides and live in-person audio description for blind and visually impaired audience members.
