Before relocating to NYC, Adams organized Dynasty Center (2015-2017), a community space, performing arts' rehearsal studio, and DIY music venue, in Downtown Los Angeles' Chinatown.
In 2018, Adams moved to NYC, opened Caitlin Adams Studio, LLC and launched her professional dance company, HEIDCO which is a fiscally sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization.
Adams has taught dancers/movers of all ages in both New York City, and Los Angeles. Most recently, she began working alongside clinical psychologists, sharing a movement method she began developing in 2014 for people suffering with PTSD, body trauma and memory loss.
Her choreographic process lives amidst the intersection of action, imagination, inhibition and thought, and often works to identify the process of memory within disorientation/disassociation.
Caitlin Adams | HEIDCO is currently an artist in residency at The Floor Atlantic in Brooklyn, NY
