Dorrance Dance

“[Dorance’s] work is great fun and full of pleasure, but it also dances with complexity, musicality, invention and effortless style.” – The Guardian

Founded in 2011 in New York by Artistic Director and 2015 MacArthur Fellow Michelle Dorrance, the award-winning Dorrance Dance company supports dancers and musicians who embody and push the dynamic range that tap dance has to offer. This performance will consist of A Swing Suite (2023) which marks longtime company members Elizabeth Burke and Luke Hickey’s choreographic debuts and is inspired by the music their mentor, Gene Medler, exposed to them as kids, and how it shaped their entire artistic lives; as well as SOUNDspace Redux (2013), which was originally a 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.
