Street Tap
Tap
Email: streettap@aol.com
Brian Jones and Donald Suthard have been touring as Street Tap since 1995. They tap dance on a portable wooden stage, clamped on overturned buckets. Sets of tuned boxes provide additional surfaces for percussive teamwork. Street Tap brings street energy to the twin American classics of jazz and tap. They also tap to swing, ragtime, mambo, tango, spiritual--even classical music, and have been featured performers from Newport to Maine as well as at Boston's Fanuil Hall Marketplace.

Brian Jones, known for his All-Tap Revue, has danced for many groups, including Hawaii's Volcano Circus and Trinity Repertory Company. Boston-based Donald Suthard has danced at Walt Disney World and traveled the country with Sesame Street Live.

Theatre Expansion
Theatre, Performance Art & Modern Dance
104 Ives St. #4
Providence, RI 02906
Contact: Tim Rubel
Phone 401-440-5440
Email: Rubeltrubel3@aol.com
Website: http://www.theatreexpansion.org

The Theatre Expansion began in 2002 under the name Summer Theatre Three. For two seasons the company worked under the mission of producing controversial plays from three genres. Challenging modern/absurdist plays, obscure classic dramas and new unpublished works. Pinter's The Room and Shanley's The Dreamer Examines his Pillow (2002), followed by Marivaux's Double Infidelity and a new adaptation of Alan Lightman's book Einstein's Dreams written and directed by Peter Deffet (2003).

Movers as well as actors. Choreographers as well as directors and designers. Most of all, artists who have a passion for telling great dramatic stories through dance as well as theatre. A company committed to the practice of drama but universal in the artists it includes. Our future seasons will still include controversial straight plays but also pioneer Dance adaptations of Dramatic Literature, present socially relevant Performance Art plays and continue to break through boundaries between the different performing arts. Our first production under our new identity will be performed this August at the Bell Street Chapel. In our August production, you will see this kind of contemporary dance incorporated into a theatre production, to bring a more complete interpretation of a human experience. Come celebrate this experience with us.
