The Alive! Arts Series presents The GIMP Project, a multimedia experiment that challenges notions of dance, performance and body image while encouraging dialogue and exposure to the disability arts. A project of the respected Heidi Latsky Dance Company, GIMP will be the focus of a residency program on campus that will conclude with a public performance on Saturday, Feb. 5, at 7:30 p.m.
