Don’t miss the performance May 13th-17th at BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center.
We’ll be hitting the boards with artistic director Andrew Nemr and hammered dulcimer virtuoso Max ZT on March 21st (8pm) at the Church for All Nations (417 West 57th Street, between 9th and 10th Ave, New York, NY). You might just see some of the pieces that we’re working on for the 10th Anniversary Celebration. Maybe 🙂
We are so happy to be working with the team at TriBeCa Performing Arts Center for the upcoming World Premiere of Three Suites. We will be presenting the 10th Anniversary Celebration in Theatre B, a beautiful space with amazing sight-lines at every seat and a warm and intimate feel. Everyone will feel close to the dancing and musicians, and we’ll feel close to every audience member, which is what we like!!! Ticket prices and on sale date for the May 13-17 shows will be announced very soon!!!
In just a few days we will be launching our first ever Kickstarter campaign. We want you to join us in bringing our 10th Anniversary Season to life. We will be presenting three brand new suites – a first for the company – including a special collaboration with Max ZT and House of Waters.
We will be creating Three World Premiere Tap Dance Suites:
A Return to Love – a brand new suite harkening back to the days of All For Love. The many shades that color the pursuit of love return in this suite that evokes the emotions that first brought Cats Paying Dues to the stage.
First Instruments – The voice and percussive dance are among the earliest of instruments and combine to produce sounds that are both ancient and timeless. First Instruments is a trip through rhythms and lyrics that echo the equally ancient and timeless questions of love, humanity, and the divine.
In the House of Waters – A world premiere collaboration with Max ZT and House of Waters brings together the unique sensibilities of artistic director Andrew J Nemr and hammered dulcimer virtuoso and composer Max ZT. Nemr’s choreography will bring new arrangements of Max ZT’s unique compositions to life as Cats Paying Dues dancers add another layer of physicality and percussion to music influenced by Indian and Senegalese traditions. Max ZT and House of Waters will perform live.
We’re going big, and we want to share the experience with you!
