“The annual observance of the International Day of Disabled Persons was proclaimed in 1992, by the United Nations General Assembly resolution 47/3. The observance of the Day aims to promote an understanding of disability issues and mobilize support for the dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities. It also seeks to increase awareness of gains to be derived from the integration of persons with disabilities in every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life.” – https://www.un.org/
Today, I will be performing in On Display Global with Heidi Latsky Dance.
ON DISPLAY GLOBAL is our worldwide initiative honoring the United Nations’ International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Each year, on December 3rd, local leaders from communities around the world coordinate live, human sculpture courts in their cities. This celebration began in 2015 with two sites – New York, NY and Hobart, Australia – and has since grown to encompass over 100 sites.
You can learn more about the performance here.

Heidi Latsky Dance welcomes you to join our worldwide, human sculpture court that challenges our collective understanding of seeing and being seen.
