Heidi Latsky: Dancing the Divide
Heidi Latsky, who was recently featured on Articulate episode called “Dance-able,”began her professional dance career at an old age: 19. Though this number seems strange, to bar someone so young in the eyes of many, in dance it marks a degree where a divide exists between the mind and body. Dancers are unique in their practice, as they consistently work to transcend the separation we perceive between our mind/body- working tirelessly to assume a unity between the two. Her age did not deter her from crossing this divide; working with rigor and intention, Latsky progressed to become a principal dancer with Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company (1987-1993). Eventually in 2001, Latsky began her own company Heidi Latsky Dance (HLD).
Shara Nova: The Renaissance Woman
Human Condition(s): Review by Max Maddox
Reach invites the interloper into a shared space woven by a pioneering social project. If they weren’t so damn positive about sticking it to the man it would be tempting to call it class warfare. But this group holds a light to those who need art most.

Thinking Out Loud About Art & Politics
In our Denver creative community, what can WE do as artists? Unlike professionals in law or social work, our role doesn’t feel as obvious or cut and dry. How do we contribute with our craft and our passions? Should we have a political artistic agenda?

Introducing Along the Line
Welcome! RedLine Contemporary Art Center is happy to introduce Along the Line, our new blog. Since the moment we first started talking about launching a blog, we have thought of it as a “portrait” of the eclectic, dynamic, creative, and diverse RedLine community.
Here you’ll find art criticism, reviews, interviews and studio visits, inspiration, influences, essays and reflections, creative work processes, and of course, a lot of art. Along the Line will be a virtual space in which conversations about art in relation to social responsibility, collective leadership, cultural responsiveness, and community engagement will flourish. In this curated but open space, we hope to have some fun, engage with local issues, reflect on the world beyond our doors, and document the work being done here at RedLine.
Along the Line is the result of the collective efforts by a group of dedicated artists, volunteers, and community advocates. We strive for content that inspires. Each of our brilliant contributors will bring their own perspectives, insights, and imaginations.
Thank you so much for reading and we look forward to engaging.
