Making a Tap Dance w/BRENDA BUFALINO
Come enjoy, and contribute to a discussion about tap dance composition and choreography; from the three minute routines for the vaudeville stage, musical theater and musical movies, to the creation of a new concept in tap choreography...extended compositions for the concert stage.
|
The event will be led by
Bessie Lifetime Achievement Award winner,
Brenda Bufalino, who began her career as a variety artist, and became best known internationally for her groundbreaking, solo full length tap performances, and her creation of over 150 works for her companies; including the
American and
International Tap Dance Orchestras. We will look at and discuss a classic three minute routine of
Honi Coles and
Bufalino,
Bubba Gaines, and the duo of
LaVaughn Robinson and
Germaine Ingram, as well as deconstruct some of Bufalino's solos from
"Cantata & the Blues," and seminal works for the ATDO. Ms. Bufalino will read passages from her memoir,
"Tapping the Source...Tap Dance Stories, Theory and Practice," which has been re-published by Codhill Press.
