Internationally acclaimed tap star Savion Glover will return to The Joyce Theater for the holiday debut performance of his new show, Visions of a Bible. The show will run for four weeks from December 20th, 2005 to January 15th, 2006.

"The tap impresario will showcase an intimate program of unexpected and innovative choreography to the soulful voice of Newark, New Jersey native Lori Ann Hunter. Savion will also be joined by his jazz band, The Otherz for a final reflective piece which pays homage to the 'legends' entitled Visions Of A Bible," state press notes.

A Tony-Award winning performer, choreographer, and director, Savion Glover is best known as the star and choreographer of the 1996 Broadway smash hit Bring in 'Da Noise, Bring in 'Da Funk. In 2000, he toured the nation with "Footnotes: the Concert" featuring tap legends Jimmy Slyde, Buster Brown and Dianne Walker, and was the choreographer of the award-winning Nike "Free Style" spots. Glover also appeared in Spike Lee's feature film, Bamboozled. He last performed at The Joyce Theater for a sold-out series of his show Classical Savion in January 2005.
