DIAVOLO Dance Theater is a performing arts company based in Los Angeles, California, that integrates dance with architectural environments. Under the artistic direction of Jacques Heim, the company brings together dancers, designers, choreographers, and engineers to create works that are informed by bespoke architectural structures, with choreography that emphasizes physicality and emotional impact. The organization emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach to performance, using space and form as central elements to convey how people are moved and influenced by their surroundings. In addition to stage works, the DIAVOLO Institute offers educational and outreach opportunities, extending its reach to audiences of varied ages and abilities both locally and through international touring. Its activities reflect a commitment to exploring the social and emotional dimensions of space through a distinctive, highly physical style. A recent development noted is a partnership with Youth Catalytics, indicating ongoing collaboration with organizations beyond its core performing activities.
