Six artists come together to create an evening of improvisation and collaboration, weaving their diverse art forms into a tapestry of playful and poignant encounters. Each performance unfolds with shifting combinations of tap, dance, piano, saxophone, guitar, and voice—offering fresh perspectives and spontaneous interplay.

At the heart of Shifting Perspectives is improvisation: exploring listening, leading, following, arranging and re-arranging, while reflecting the complexities of today’s world. Though each artist contributes a distinct background and perspective, common themes emerge through their dialogue in sound, rhythm, and movement.

The audience will be seated in the round, fostering an intimate atmosphere that invites not only witnessing but also a sense of shared participation in a collective journey.

Featuring Shifting Perspectives

You can see the tradition in her work, but she’s also stretching the concept of tap dance.
