new company reel!
 
Edgy, witty, provocative: L.A.-based choreographer Heidi Duckler and her Collage Dance Theatre are inspired by their surroundings and the psychological relationship between people and their environment.  Audiences who have a chance to witness the often sold-out site-specific performances are mesmerized by the unexpected and discover an engaging, one-of-a-kind experience.  Collage Dance Theatre seeks non-traditional venues and methods for creating contemporary dance theatre works that defy easy categorization, reaching out to new audiences by redefining dance as an interdisciplinary art form.
 
Heidi Duckler, Artistic Director, founded Collage Dance Theatre in 1985. She has choreographed more than 60 original dance works at unique sites in Hong Kong, New York, Miami, Las Vegas, Portland, Oregon and throughout Southern California including the Lincoln Heights Prison, the Los Angeles River, the Subway Terminal Building, the Herald Examiner Building, the Ambassador Hotel and the L.A. Police Academy. Called "the reigning queen of site-specific performance," by the L.A. Times, her work has been commissioned by Miami Light, Grand Performances, Roy and Edna Disney Hall (REDCAT), Aben Dans in Denmark, and the Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation, among others.
