About this Event
Chicago Tap Theatre presents a unique opportunity to experience queer art with this original show directed by Molly Smith. Can You Hear Us Now? will feature original choreography from CTT dancers inspired by, referencing, and in honor of historical figures in tap dance and jazz music history from the LGBTQIA+ community. Can You Hear Us Now? will bring queer tap dance experiences to the forefront like never before and will help preserve the stories of these dancers as well as uncover previously untold queer tap dance stories from the past and present. Part archival research project, part live show, this show will blend tap history with the state of tap dance today and where we are headed with a focus on LGBTQ perspectives. This production will be both a celebration of queer culture and history and an exploration of identity and societal expectations.
