About
Heidee Lyn Alsdorf (she/they) is a collaborative performance artist, choreographer, and educator based in Northwest Arkansas (NWA). Her creative practice is rooted in concert dance and devised physical theatre. In NWA, Heidee has worked with RumWolf Productions, Flyover Contemporary Dance, Arkansas Classical Theatre and TheaterSquared contributing to the region’s growing arts scene. Her choreography has been featured at la Biennale di Venezia (Porch:An Architecture of Generosity 2025), Inverse Performance Art Festival (2024, 2025, 2026), University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, the Fayetteville Movement Festival (2024), COLLIDE (Arkansas, 2024), DanceChanceNWA (2023), Rockin’ for the Ribbon (Arkansas, 2022), CrisiArts (Italy, 2017), and Oklahoma University’s Arezzo campus (Italy, 2017).
As a teacher and facilitator, Heidee fosters environments for experimentation and cross-disciplinary dialogue. At the college level, their Dance Appreciation courses emphasize cultural literacy through lecture, dialogue and movement practices while contemporary technique courses uses game, improvisation, body weathering, and somatic practice to develop performance skills for the stage. Outside of academia, Heidee regularly hosts artist incubators in her home (inHabit 2023-24, The Rental Home 2025) that nurture the local arts scene. These spaces offer unique opportunities for local artists to experiment, explore, cross-pollinate, and deepen their creative practices in conversation with other artists.
In 2024, Heidee received the Community Activator Award from Mid-America Arts Alliance, to lead On Our Way, a multimedia dance project investigating queerness, ecology, and collective creativity. This project brought together regional performers to activate the Razorback Greenway Trail with fresh, live performance.
Heidee holds a BFA in Dance Performance from UALR and an MFA in Physical Theatre from Accademia dell’Arte and Mississippi University for Women. Between 2016 and 2021, Heidee performed internationally in originally devised works with companies including Broken Jump Theatre (Italy), Spazio Seme (Italy), and Divadlo Continuo (Czech Republic), and with independent choreographers such as Giorgio Rossi and Isabel Lewis.
