Recently named a 2019 breakout star by the "New York Times," tap
dancer and choreographer Ayodele Casel will discuss her new project
"Diary of a Tap Dancer," a theatrical work positioning tap dance as
the driving force of the narrative. This project aims to create a
fuller and more accurate picture of the legacy of the art form by
centering the voices of its unmarried women within a broader
historical context. A conversation with Boston Globe writer Jeneé
Osterheldt will follow the lecture and performance. Register online.
Casel is the recipient of a 2017 Hoofer Award and the 2018 Artsmith
Transcendence Award, for championing arts education. She was selected
to represent City Center On the Move 2019, where she shared her work
"Rooted." Hailed by the legendary Gregory Hines as "one of the top
young tap dancers in the world," Casel has become an internationally
sought-after artist.
