from the
chancellor Welcome to the Robert and Judi Newman Center for the Performing Arts at the University of Denver! For the past fifteen years, within this incredible building, worldclass performers have shared their talents, ideas, and vision with Denver and the DU community. This season, the Newman Center presents the National Geographic Live series — a first for Denver — which explores diversity, conversation, and discovery. We also have the honor to host jazz singer Dianne Reeves and modern classical group Bang on a Can, who will perform with DU’s Lamont School of Music students. And that just skims the surface of the incredible depth of this year’s programming. I am proud that this season prominently features women performers and directors. And I am inspired by the convergence of the arts and social justice by the NEA Jazz Masters, MacArthur Fellows, DU’s own Spirituals Project, and many others. The Newman Center is just one way the University connects with our city and region — and Denver is a city that highly values the arts and culture. Here, our community can find challenging, innovative performances, familyfriendly programming, events featuring prominent thinkers and speakers, and showcases of our talented DU musicians and actors. The Newman Center is also advancing the public good by working with Denver Public Schools to reach students from pre-k through high school. By coming together to enjoy these events, we are participating in and supporting something of immense importance: the joy and transformation made possible through the arts. Thank you for your attendance. Please, enjoy the show.
Rebecca Chopp Chancellor, University of Denver

artist statements This work is the initial exploration of a new world and a new collaboration. Constantly inspired by the range of possibilities inherent in being both dancers and musicians, in the visual and aural, we also embrace embodying the organic and inorganic, the acoustic and the electric. None of this work is remotely possible without tap dancer, percussionist and innovator, my longtime friend, Nicholas Van Young. He is the man behind the curtain. He has been developing the instruments you see here and has been experimenting with the technologies you will see at work tonight for years in order to make this world possible. I also want to acknowledge our musical collaborators and friends, Gregory Richardson, Aaron Marcellus, Warren Craft and Donovan Dorrance who, with intuition, incredibly open minds, and a wonderful sensitivity to collaborating with the sounds of tap dance, have created some inspiring compositions. It has been a dream of mine for almost a decade to collaborate with my dear friend and multi-form dancer, Ephrat “Bounce” Asherie, who’s visual percussion, musical phrasing and dynamic range of movement

inspire me tremendously. Tap dance was America’s first street form and is deeply rooted in the foundations of Hip Hop and House dance. These communities have long been connected on the streets and in the club but are less likely to be found on the concert stage. As we enter the world of electronic music, looping and sampling, these worlds become even closer and that connection ever more important. Getting back to the beginning, I want to say thank you —thank you Nicholas Van Young, for your artistry, your creativity, your tireless and endless work, your inventive mind, your friendship and your trust. I feel incredibly blessed to have been so warmly invited into your world to play and create. —Michelle Dorrance It started with the simple need to find a way to amplify tap dance without feedback, so I could dance with a live band. Many people have used contact microphones (Gregory Hines, Tap Dogs, etc.) so I knew that was a possibility, and it led me to experimenting with guitar pedals and effects. I started out looping hand and body percussion with live and affected tap dance. Being a drummer as well, and working with electronic music since the early days of EDM, I’ve stayed in touch with what’s happening in the music production and DJ community. I knew contact mics could be doubled as drum triggers and I was already playing around with a masterful piece of software called Ableton: a live performance software, digital audio workstation. I got the idea to create small trigger boards to dance on—essentially wooden drum pads. In conjunction with my main dance board and effects this added a whole new sound set for me to experiment with. Over time I took online courses in Ableton and began to understand the limitless possibilities. Soon, I was able to play notes, arpeggios, chords, sound bites and quotes, and began composing scores in real time with improvised tap dance. The synthesized possibilities are endless and the combination of this, with the acoustic sound and attack of tap dance was a very exciting frontier for me to explore. The only thing missing was Michelle Dorrance. Being a company member of Dorrance Dance, Michelle had given me my first opportunity to perform a solo using this electronic set up in an evening length performance in Boston, presented by Thelma Goldberg in 2012. We, as kids, had dreams Newman Center Presents Dorrance Dance

about experimenting with altered soundscapes for tap dance. We jokingly called it “Tap to the Max.”
about dorrance dance
I was creating solos with my “Compositional Tap Instrument,” but had visions of several dancers across a number of platforms and boards. Dancing out elaborate choreographed phrases while simultaneously playing the musical composition. Once Michelle asked to me to collaborate on this show I knew it “was on.” Her expansive creativity in tap choreography and movement, along with her sophisticated musical phrasing started to unlock possibilities in our set that were getting us both so excited. Simple ideas led to large discoveries and every time we workshopped an idea, 20 more were born. Needless to say, here we are. Pushing ourselves to explore the sonic potential in tap dance and tap instruments. In some ways we have created the ultimate tap dancers playground. Where you can let your imagination and your feet run wild.
Dorrance Dance is an award-winning tap dance company based in New York City. The company’s work aims to honor tap dance’s uniquely beautiful history in a new, dynamic, and compelling context; not by stripping the form of its tradition, but by pushing it—rhythmically, technically, and conceptually. The company’s inaugural performance garnered a Bessie Award for “blasting open our notions of tap” and the company continues its passionate commitment to expanding the audience of tap dance, America’s original art form.
Enjoy. —Nicholas Van Young newmancenter.du.edu

These avid philanthropists, and winners of the 2014 Colorado Business Committee for the Arts’ John Madden Jr. Leadership Award, smile when they remember becoming involved in the campaign to create an outstanding center for the performing arts at the University of Denver. Daniel L. Ritchie, then chancellor, invited Judi to head the effort when the Center was only a dream. Later, the Center was named in the couple’s honor. The couple’s passion for performing arts and education harmoniously intersected with the Newman Center, which is home to exceptional performance venues and DU’s Lamont School of Music and Department of Theatre. Former DU Chancellor Dan Ritchie has often said that “love is the principal ingredient in any successful building,” says Judi. “The Newman Center, as well as the University’s many other buildings, show just how true that is.” The Newmans appreciated the masterful collaboration between Ritchie and DU Architect Emeritus Cabell Childress, and the expertise of Joseph Docksey, then director of the Lamont School, and William Temple Newman Center Presents 2018-19 Season

He is a former member of DU’s Board of Trustees and currently serves on the Daniels School executive Advisory Council. Judi is a Trustee of the Denver Botanic Gardens and sits on the Visiting Committee for the Frost School of Music and the Board of Trustees of the University of Miami. She is also a former Trustee and Treasurer of the Colorado Symphony Association. “Each year brings more recognition to this venue and its world-class programs,” says Bob. “Judi and I are delighted to be part of this University of Denver community.” newmancenter.du.edu
