Conceived of by one of the brightest stars in tap, this piece, humorous and sentimental, whimsical and heartbreaking, brings the excitement of percussive dance and contemporary music into full-scale collaboration. Performed on a custom-built sandbox stage and set to Tao’s contemporary score for piano and electronics, dancers explore the unique sonic potential of sand-dancing using such American dance traditions as Tap, Vernacular Jazz, and Lindy Hop. Blurring the lines between movement and music, Teicher explores the passage of time and the relationships we make with other people, the sadness and the beauty of watching people come and go in our lives.
