Traveling all the way from Taiwan’s distant shores, the Dance Works will debut its one-of-a-kind East-meets-West tap dance performance for New York audiences at the Kumble Theater this July from 12~15th this week. This will be a special music and dance feast for us New Yorkers!
The team, which has already made international appearances in the U.S., Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Macau in its 12-year history, is sure to charm New Yorkers with this new fusion of Eastern elements and traditional tap performance.
Celebrating tap as not only a dance but also a symphony of sounds, Dance Works is proud to unleash Daydreamer+, a performance that took over two years to complete, and features collaboration with several international music. Marked as Sound Creation Series No. 2, Daydreamer+ will give audiences a new kind of concert experience, combining the rhythm of tap with live music from India, South Africa, and eastern China, to create an abundant cross-cultural atmosphere.
Daydreamer+ embarks from the confession of a daydream and brings forth several different images, taking the audience on a personal dream journey through tap dance. Aside from rhythmic music and beat of tap, projected images and laser effects add to the unbounded extension of dancer’s limbs, creating a moving visual that is sure to touch every member of the audience. Daydreamer+ has gotten rave reviews at every performance so far, and New York is sure to be no exception.
