One of Canada’s tap dance stars, Danny Nielsen combines dazzling technique, natural musicality, and a drive to constantly innovate with a heartfelt desire to honour the rich traditions of the form. In Conversation<\/em>\u00a0is a collaboration with renowned Bulgarian pianist\/percussionist Kristian Alexandrov which delves into the symbiotic relationship between tap dance and jazz piano. Touching on new takes of old standards, and original music, the two will co-create a performance drawing on everything from traditional and contemporary jazz to R&B, hip hop and rock.<\/p>\n

With lighting\/video design from Jack Chipman (Vancouver Opera, Electric Company Theatre, Plastic Orchid Factory), additional accompaniment by Miles Hill on bass, and creative consulting and direction by Houston\u2019s Matthew Shields (Post Modern Jukebox, Tapestry Dance Company) this show is a celebration of tap and musical artistry that will satisfy your senses both visually and audibly.<\/p>\n
