“a top-shelf tap dancer, as generous of spirit as she is precise in technique.”
New york Times
Tap dancer Ayodele Casel’s breathtaking skill and dedication to her art form have made her one of the most acclaimed performers working today. Ayodele Casel: Rooted, directed by Torya Beard, is a collaborative project that brings together tap, movement, spoken word artists, and jazz musicians to explore the intersections of their art forms with their collective roots. The Rooted artists will be in conversation, movement, and fellowship with various members of the Duke University community during an extended residency, and their voices will be included in the final public presentation.
Meet the Artist! Stop by the Duke Arts booth at CenterFest on Sunday, September 22 from 2-3pm to meet Ayodele Casel!
