£5K TO £10KBIOGRAPHY
Tap Dogs is part theatre, part dance, part rock concert and part construction site. It's a wholesale reinvention of tap, growing out of choreographer Dein Perry's experience as an industrial mechanic and his collaboration with the designer Nigel Triffitt and composer Andrew Wilkie.
To create a high impact introduction for corporate shows, Tap Dogs typically provide a ten-minute routine featuring six dancers. The set opens with Grinders, then a solo piece, then builds towards a climax with Drumbeat, Basketball and Triggers.
Since its debut in Sydney, Tap Dogs has gathered a collection of awards including an Olivier for Best Choreography. There are now four companies of Tap Dogs, leaving dents on stages around the world.
