Project Description
In the 2020-21 school year, Heidi Duckler Dance (HDD) will work with the Partnership for Los Angeles Schools to bring dance and movement-based education to four underserved schools in Boyle Heights, South LA, and Watts. HDD’s educational residencies are 12 weeks, conducted by HDD’s professional Teaching Artists on school grounds. The free programs culminate in a public performance by the students at their school – along with HDD’s dancers – for their classmates, teachers, families and friends.
Organization Summary
Over the past 38 years, HDD has produced over 500 original works locally, nationally and internationally, creating interdisciplinary performances in many iconic locations, including: the Ambassador Hotel, Herald Examiner Building, LA City Hall, Van Nuys Flyaway Bus Terminal, Dunbar Hotel, and on the Tall Ships at the Port of LA. Its programs reach more than 7,500 individuals each year. Led by Heidi Duckler, HDD is a company of 12 resident artists and 5 staff committed to upholding inclusiveness, consciousness, vulnerability, and connectivity through their craft.
From its inception, HDD has made accessibility and inclusion core components of its mission. HDD works to promote access and cultural equity by focusing on engagement and building public/private partnerships with the capacity to strengthen neighborhoods.
