Trajectoire

Here, artists are considered to be weirdos.

At least that’s how Diavolo Dance Theater’s Jacques Heim sees it.

“I come from Europe, and the arts are exactly as important as brushing your teeth,” the company’s artistic director said. “In North America, to be completely honest,” with a glance over his shoulder and a lowered voice he continued, “it doesn’t really exist.”

But Heim made it his mission to help change that.
