they have taken nothing (2017) and to quiet the marks II (2023) are intimate performances that explore themes of resilience, bodily autonomy, and feminine strength. While the remount of these works has been a part of our plans for a while, there seems to be a certain amount of divine timing in our decision to perform these works at this moment in history. The creation of they have taken nothing began in the wake of the 2016 election, and to quiet the marks II was initially developed in the weeks leading up to the overturning of Roe v Wade.
about little house dance
Founded by Heather Stewart (she/they) in 2020, little house is a professional dance company established on principles of democratic process, collaboration, sustainability, and high caliber dance performance in service of a strong arts ecosystem in Maine. 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.
little house seeks to build mindful working partnerships with venues, presenters, audiences, patrons, and production, particularly in Maine. Our aim is to create meaningful and deeply physical dance experiences with the people around us. The company's model primarily functions as a platform for the creation of new dance works led by choreographer and artist Heather Stewart. Work from little house is made for audiences who are invested in seeing performance that stretches the boundaries of movement potential, while touching on experiences that are uniquely human. Additionally, the company is committed to fostering community growth by offering classes, workshops, and opportunities for our artists to develop and present their own creative work. little house is a queer-led company, and our work strives to elevate and center the work of LGBTQIA+++ artists.
