MICHELLE DORRANCE Three to One (music: Aphex Twin and Thom Yorke)
Myelination (Cal Performances co-commission) (music: Gregory
Richardson and Donovan Dorrance) Jungle Blues (music: Branford
Marsalis) This is not your father's tap dance routine! A MacArthur and
Alpert Award fellow, choreographer and tap dancer Michelle Dorrance /
Dorrance Dance is celebrated for connecting tap's history to
contemporary urban culture and infusing the art form with
theatricality and humor. Dorrance and her company perform a new,
extended version—co-commissioned by Cal Performances—of her
acclaimed work, Myelination, with original live music; the rarely
seen, Bessie-Award winning Three to One; and a revival of the
whimsical Jungle Blues, in a program that connects tap back to its
roots in jazz and jump blues, and forward to the cadences of hip-hop
and indie rock. "Dorrance... pushes the boundaries of tap while
exposing its true nature: that it is music" (The New York Times).
