DANCE OUT EAST: MUSIC FROM THE SOLE

Blurring the line between concert, dance, and music performance, Music From The Sole is a tap dance and live music company that celebrates tap’s roots in the African diaspora. Co-founders composer and bassist Gregory Richardson and Brazilian tap dancer and choreographer Leonardo Sandoval, draw from Afro-Brazilian, jazz, soul, house, rock, and Afro-Cuban styles.

After multiple residencies through Guild Hall’s William P. Rayner Artists-in-Residence program, the company will share a preview of their newest work, House Is Open, Going Dark culminating the company’s technical residency at Guild Hall.

This program is part of the inaugural DANCE OUT EAST festival. A collaboration between Guild Hall, The Church, The Watermill Center, and Works & Process, DANCE OUT EAST provides unique insight into the process and preparation of new choreographed works that will sequence into the Works & Process Underground Uptown Dance Festival at the Guggenheim Museum.

ARTIST TALK: ROBERT MCCURDY

Please join painter, Robert McCurdy for a discussion on his artistic process and intent.

McCurdy’s meticulously realistic paintings, including, among others, primatologist Jane Goodall, the Dalai Lama, writers Toni Morrison and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and former President Barack Obama’s White House portrait.

McCurdy’s practice is conceptual, even minimalist. McCurdy states, “I look for a sustainable moment…It is why there is no movement, no expression or gesture… The image is reported rather than interpreted.” McCurdy studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art and received a fellowship from Yale University.  He resides in New York City. 

The lecture will be followed by a Q&A led by Annette Cumming, who, with her husband Ian Cumming, commissioned these portraits, which were presented at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in 2021.
