Conceived of by one of the brightest stars in tap, this piece, humorous and sentimental, whimsical and heartbreaking, brings the excitement of percussive dance and contemporary music into full-scale collaboration. Performed on a custom-built sandbox stage and set to Tao’s contemporary score for piano and electronics, dancers explore the unique sonic potential of sand-dancing using such American dance traditions as Tap, Vernacular Jazz, and Lindy Hop.
