Dorrance Dance — Myelination and other works

Thurs 14 -16 November 2019

Game-changer in the world of tap, Michelle Dorrance has dedicated herself to exploring the capabilities of America’s original dance form. In an exhilaratingly diverse triple bill, her company proves just what tap can do.

In the Bessie Award-winning Three to One, Dorrance places herself between two barefoot hip hop dancers, while in Jungle Blues lively humour is set to the New Orleans swagger of Grammy Award-winning Branford Marsalis. For Myelination, inspiration comes from deep inside, as electrical transmissions between nerve cells are sped up by a biological phenomenon.

“Dorrance is a virtuoso, both as a dancer and choreographer”
