Tap superstar and MacArthur Fellow Michelle Dorrance is “one of the most imaginative tap choreographers working today." (The New Yorker) In this Penn Live Arts debut, enjoy the Philadelphia premieres of the “edgy, seductive and smart” (The Chicago Tribune) Three to One and Basses Loaded, which sees bassists and dancers choreographed in tandem. The program also explores tap as both movement and music in an excerpt of SOUNDspace and offers a swingin’ Christmas finale in a brand-new work celebrating Ella Fitzgerald’s timeless holiday songbook with live vocals by Aaron Marcellus. "Dorrance is a virtuoso, both as a dancer and choreographer," who “pushes the boundaries of tap while exposing its true nature: that it is music." (The New York Times)
