The Bang Group, directed by choreographer David Parker and dancer Jeffrey Kazin, are known to Kaatsbaan audiences for Nut/Cracked, their uproarious retake on The Nutcracker. During the rest of the year, the company produces works that reveal a vital and robust commitment to rhythm, using tap dance, body percussion, voice, and movement.
For this New Work Preview, the company will show brand-new works-in-progress that are part of a project called Sodbusters. The piece breaks up traditional ideas about tap and percussive dance with humor, invention, gesture, and endless rhythmic play.
