The Vancouver Tap Dance Festival presents Encore
Martin “Tre” Dumas III, Joel Hanna, Jessie Sawyers, Riley Skworoda, and Jeffrey Dawson come together for this very special presentation that shares performances by and conversations with some of the most extraordinary dancers in the world whom, at different places in their lives/careers, are asked the very important question “what if this was the last show you ever did?”
It is an abstract thing for a dancer to think about; that there might be a time when you don’t dance anymore. But yet, we’ve all heard it “dance like there’s no tomorrow!”. So what if this was it? What songs would you want to dance to if you knew this was the last one you would do, on your terms. And why? For who?
Come witness and get insight into the hearts and minds of long-time professionals and virtuoso outliers, with their stories of struggle, perseverance and triumph from voices not typically heard. Then translated into language that they express themselves with the loudest… Tap Dance.
With a live band (The Dean Thiessen Trio), hosted by Joel Hanna, and danced with joyfully open hearts, let us give you a wonderful night of incredible dance, wonderful music, stories and copious amounts of laughter.
Presented with support from the Vancouver Civic Theatres.
