little house is a contemporary dance company and the artistic home of choreographer Heather Stewart (she/they). Rooted in democratic process and collaboration, little house creates interdisciplinary performances and collective works in Portland, Maine, and beyond.

After several years of working as an independent artist Heather established little house in order to formalize her collaborative relationships with other dancers, musicians, visual artists, and writers. As an organization, little house exists to challenge the notion that quality dance can only arise in cities that have already been categorized as designated dance hubs.

Exploring human disorder and melancholy, little house dance draws viewers into dark and intimate worlds of movement ritual and duration. Movement vocabulary is created and performed with a clear, rigorous approach to choreography and performance presence. little house creates work for audiences who are invested in seeing performance that stretches the boundaries of movement potential while touching on experiences that are uniquely human.

Run Time: Approximately 75 minutes, with no intermission.
