Tap dancing isn’t just about the moves; it’s also about the sounds. Several hundred people, including more than 100 American Dance Festival students, enjoyed a demonstration of that insight during a performance by MacArthur Fellow and Triangle native Michelle Dorrance and Byron Tittle of Dorrance Dance tap company Wednesday afternoon at the Nasher Museum of Art.
Dorrance and Tittle emphasize the role of sound in their performances and had a special 6-by-8 foot stage created for the concert created out of wood reclaimed from the Triangle and New York. Tuesday afternoon during rehearsal, the two dancers tried out the stage, seeking the different sounds resonating from the different parts of the platform.
The 40-minute performance, which included long solos from both dancers, also created a work of art in collaboration with New York visual artist John Felix Arnold, who had covered the dance stage with paper canvas that captured every tap, skid or slide. The work will be displayed with the stage as an artistic document of the dancers’ movement.
More than 300 people attended the event. “Echoes: From Here” was commissioned by Duke Arts and co-presented by American Dance Festival and the Nasher Museum.
