Following last year's critically acclaimed phenomenon Freedom...In Progress, tap dancer and choreographerAyodele Casel returns to the electrifying 1979 improvisation of jazz legends Max Roach and Cecil Taylor-meeting their fearless exchange with her own blend of rhythmic love, precision, and liberation. During her residency at Kaatsbaan, Casel has deepened this exploration, shaping it into a first draft of an evening-length work.
Known for her highly skilled and expansive improvisation, Casel's projects include her concert and Bessie Award-winning film Chasing Magic, and her Drama Desk-nominated work as tap choreographer for the Broadway revival of Funny Girl.
Tivoli's newest restaurant addition and immediate hot spot, Club Sandwich, is offering specially curated picnic options for folks spending Saturday, September 20 on our beautiful grounds in between extraordinary dance events.
