Heidi is also the creator of an innovative, curriculum-infused, kinesthetic program, Whole Body Math. She is on the Harford Performs and Arts for Learning CT teaching artist rosters. Heidi is inspired by the body's infinite movement possibilities and fascinated by both the body's complexity, simplicity and ability to inspire, work and heal. She is a mover, yogini, percussionist, fire artist, gardener, costume builder, momma and all around creative individual.



Matica's performance was raucous and good natured, alternately exciting their audience and calming them with music. The children were delighted by the vast array of exotic instruments and, without knowing it, got a terrific geography lesson. We would happily welcome Matica back to Hartford Public Library again and we encourage other libraries to have them.
