Caleb Teicher specializes in musically-driven dance traditions and interdisciplinary collaboration and has been featured by The New York Times, NPR, Forbes, Vogue, Interview Magazine, on the cover of Dance Magazine, and on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert alongside Regina Spektor.

Nic Gareiss is one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch.” A dancer, musician, and dance researcher, he draws from many percussive dance traditions, weaving together clog, flatfoot, and step dance footwork vocabulary, improvisation, and musical collaboration.

In this new 60-minute duo collaboration, Teicher and Gareiss explore improvisation, song, and percussive dance. Drawing on American tap dance, jazz, swing, lindy hop, Appalachian clogging, and Irish step dance, they create a breathtaking evening of dance rooted in time and place yet uniquely their own, creating a festive dialogue of sound, movement, and corporeal rapport.

Integral to this project, Caleb and Nic seek to connect dance and music traditions from urban and rural spaces with environments and communities that cultivate local connections, i.e., at island farms and farm stands. Gatherings around Caleb and Nic’s performances are centered on food and joyous movement and are designed to reunite. This series aims to increase the connection between agricultural and arts communities. To that end, Caleb and Nic will perform an abbreviated version of their work at the Agricultural Fair in West Tisbury, Morning Glory Farm, and Slough Farm.
