Take part in On Display Queens a “live sculpture court” in celebration of the United Nations' International Day of Persons with Disabilities and part of a worldwide initiative On Display Global. 

ON DISPLAY by Heidi Latsky Dance (heidilatskydance.org/ondisplay) is a deconstructed art exhibit/fashion show and commentary on the body as a spectacle and society’s obsession with body image.  It turns a diverse cast into a sculpture court of living statues.  This movement installation will involve focus, stillness, and structured improvisation.

We are looking for an all-inclusive cast:  All ages (18+), shapes, sizes, races, genders, including those with visible disabilities.  No previous formal training in this technique required.  

All training/rehearsals/performances will take place in Queens.  (Must be able to provide your own transportation.)  

Performances: September 30, 2018 (outdoor venue @ Flushing Meadows Park Unisphere) and December 3, 2018 (indoor venue).  The outdoor performance will be filmed to be part of a worldwide video-cast at the UN and all ON DISPLAY GLOBAL locations.

Attend a training/rehearsal workshop in Long Island City: Wednesday, Sept 19 (12-2pm) or Monday, Sept 24 (5-7pm).  

All participants will receive a copy of the performance and students can receive community service hours.

To sign up for a training/rehearsal workshop or for more information, please contact ondisplayqueens@outlook.com.  Please include your name and your availability for the training and performance dates above.
