I auditioned and was hired to perform tap dance in Instance Number 2: EXPOSURE by Laëtitia Badaut Haussmann at the Gunning House sponsored by the Beeler Gallery. The performance was a reopening of the famous Gunning House that used eight dancers to highlight different aspects of the house’s architecture and history.
Even though I have performed a lot, this performance was very different than anything I have ever done before. It was more abstract and improvisational. The house was the main focal point of the performance and the dancing and artistry was used to compliment the house rather than be the main focus. It was really interesting to perform a style of dance I have been practicing almost my whole life, but in a completely new and unique way. It was also the first time I had worked with artists in the Columbus area which was really refreshing.
