Event Details
Join award-winning tap dance company Dorrance Dance for a new program that showcases the musicality and versatility of its “close-knit family” (Wall Street Journal) of dancer-musicians, featuring the Dorrance Dance choreographic debut of longtime company members Elizabeth Burke and Luke Hickey. A Swing Suite (2023) is deeply inspired by the music that Burke and Hickey’s mentor, Gene Medler, introduced them to as kids, and by how it shaped their tastes and interests throughout their artistic lives. The work is an homage to Gene, and an offering around the idea that just about every road leads back home. Paired with Michelle Dorrance’s critically acclaimed SOUNDspace | REDUX (2013), an originally site-specific work that explored the unique acoustics of New York City’s St. Mark’s Church through the myriad sounds and textures of the feet, which has been adapted and continues to explore what is most beautiful and exceptional about tap dancing – movement as music.
This performance is co-presented with CNU's Ferguson Center for the Arts.
Valet Parking is available for purchase.
