Luke Hickey
A Little Old, A Little New
This high-energy percussive revue accentuates the powerful connection between tap dancers and jazz musicians in syncopated conversation. A delicious smorgasbord of styles, rhythms, steps and songs—old and new—explodes in this love letter to tap dance’s jazz roots.
Monica Bill Barnes and Company
The Running Show (Excerpt)
Full of rigorous athletic movement, The Running Show is a live documentary about the life of a dancer. Robbie Saenz de Viteri and Monica Bill Barnes create a work that combines movement and language in surprising ways inviting the audience to see the dancer as a new kind of sports hero.
Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company
“Festival” from Red Firecrackers
Created especially for family audiences, “Festival” is the explosive finale of the Company’s flagship production Red Firecrackers.
