BUCKETS & TAP SHOES BIO:
Vaudeville’s next generation! Back by popular demand from the deep freeze of Minneapolis’s sub-zero winter, 10 Foot 5 Productions presents “Buckets & Tap Shoes,” a company of musicians, percussionists and hoofers. They return to the Vail International Dance Festival after performing to a standing room-only audience at 2008's Bud Light Hot Summer Nights of Dance. They appear in this summer's Dance for $20.09, as well as in free Village Vignette performances.
Original music, improvisation and choreography derived from roots of funk, soul, jazz, classical, hip-hop, blues and rock. “Buckets & Tap Shoes” is a journey through rhythm, music & tap dance. Every show is a unique and organic entity. Part dance company... part band... all rhythm! The multi-talented cast of performers create music with 5-gallon paint buckets, metal cans, found objects, tap shoes, as well as traditional instruments including electric guitar, bass, keyboards and drums. Buckets and Tap Shoes continues to astound audiences of all ages with mind-blowing rhythms, precision footwork and powerful groove-based music.
Kicking down the 4th wall between audience and performer, “Buckets & Tap Shoes” makes their audience a part of the show. Worldwide audiences speak the universal language of rhythm and music. We need not speak in the same tongue to communicate.
