Diary of a Tap Dancer
This holiday season, from December 12 through January 4, trailblazing tap dancer and choreographer Ayodele Casel and longtime collaborator director Torya Beard return to the American Repertory Theater to share the joyful, resilient, and liberating spirit of tap. The electric new play weaves together dance, narrative, and song to reveal the power of reclaiming language, culture, and one’s own identity. This world-premiere production traces Ayodele’s life from her roots in The Bronx and Puerto Rico, while celebrating the extraordinary and often-overlooked women tap dancers who paved the way.
