About the Artist

Heather Dutton (she/they) is a Brooklyn based queer and gender fluid dance theater artist driven by a deep fascination with human nature. Their multidisciplinary approach to movement calls on their background in theater, comedy, creative writing, and a range of dance techniques. She strives to tackle complex concepts in logical and digestible ways, with an eye toward simultaneously challenging and entertaining audiences. Their work has recently been seen at Flushing Town Hall, ODC Theater, American Dance Festival, Arts on Site, Here Arts Center, Dixon Place, LPAC, the Tank, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and more. She holds a B.A. in Dance (choreography & education) and a minor in Women’s and Gender Studies from Muhlenberg College. Dutton is the founder of the emerging company, Middle Child Dance Theatre.

Grace Yi-Li Tong (she/her) is an playful, experimental Chinese-American choreographer crafting physical collages. Influenced by make-believe games, clowning, paper collage, puppetry, and contemporary dance theater, she ridiculously cuts-and-pastes “regular” events onstage to decontextualize bodily and social identity, fairytale, and comedy. Based in New York, she has recently shown work at Snug Harbor Cultural Center, The Center for Ballet Arts, Flushing Town Hall, Triskelion Arts, and more. As a performer, Grace currently performs with The Metropolitan Opera, and has recently collaborated with choreographers Annie-B Parson, Patricia Hoffbauer, Luis A., Beth Gill, and more. She holds a BFA in Dance and a minor in Gender and Sexuality Studies from NYU Tisch School of the Arts.
