Michelle Dorrance (MacArthur Fellow and Doris Duke Artist) and her award-winning tap dance company Dorrance Dance take over the City Center stage in an electrifying program of innovative premieres, old favorites, and rarely seen repertory.
Hailed for their ingenuity in both expanding the boundaries of tap dance and honoring its roots, the Company's complex footwork and elegant bodies produce intricate layers of sound, right in time with the music.
Highlights of this City Center engagement include Harlequin & Pantalone, choreographed by hoofer, clown, and stage and screen star Bill Irwin who will also perform alongside Dorrance; Jump Monk, by tap dance legend Brenda Bufalino; and a re-imagining of SOUNDspace, the Company’s 2013 site-specific exploration of New York City’s St. Mark’s Church. Special guest Kate Davis will accompany several pieces with live music
