We sat down to talk with @tkmah88 on his program, Jazz Today @cjsw. In case you missed it, the episode is available as a podcast, across all major podcast forums. You can also check on demand CJSW.com (search for the February 13, 2020 episode of the @cjsw program “Jazz Today”) We spoke about DJD, Jazz Dance, Jazz Music, and our upcoming production Bodied Indivisible.

This image is in the midst of rehearsing Guarded. Shayne goes through states of anger, sadness, lust, joy and acceptance. He transitions quickly from one state to the next, which requires focus and clarity in the execution. This is a hard task but he makes it seem effortless. Dancing with ease is different from the idea that dancing is easy. Artistry develops over a lifetime. #bodiedindivisible #yyc #calgary #yycevents #yycarts #yycdance #yyctapdance #albertadance #letsdanceyyc #curioucitycalgary

A duet is a relationship. In our piece Starbored, we explore power and control dynamics between two people. Why come to see us explore this theme in a live show? Sometimes we struggle to make human connections in our fast paced world. Come, slow down with us and see what thoughts and feelings come to you! Recognize a piece of our relationship in your experience. Be transported. TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW, follow the link in our bio.

It’s run through day! This day can be crazy and fun. We run all four pieces that make up Bodied Indivisible, in show order.

We first met in 2008. Fast forward 12 years, we call each other “partners in crime” when it comes to our artistic endeavours. We took a chance on creating choreography collaboratively, and something clicked. Ultimately our synergy led us to this moment, our debut production, BODIED INDIVISIBLE. We are bodied beings, our creative energy is unable to be divided or separated.

We’re looking at our material through video during our refinement stage. This helps us decide what is serving the work and what we can edit. We will go through many drafts before the production version. Even then, the performances might reveal something new, suggesting a new direction in the future.

Exploring tap vocabulary upside down. Rehearsals continue. #bodiedindivisible #yycevents #yyc #calgary #yycarts #albertadance #yycdance #yyctapdance

Getting a feel for the stuck section of Shayne’s solo. Rhythm keeps returning to his feet while he maintains a connection to the wall. #bodiedindivisible #yycevents #yyc #calgary #yycarts #albertadance #yycdance #yyctapdance

Shayne’s rehearsing a leg sequence while maintaining his connection to the wall. He dances in a space that’s 4’x8’. #bodiedindivisible #yycevents #yyc #calgary #yycarts #albertadance #yycdance #yyctapdance

In rehearsals for Shayne’s solo, we’re using the wall as a substitute for the set piece. We’re exploring tap vocabulary to communicate ideas. #bodiedindivisible #yycevents #yyc #calgary #yycarts #albertadance #yycdance #yyctapdance

The 3rd piece in Bodied Indivisible is Shayne’s solo, Guarded. The process began with experiments on sheet metal. The experiments led to the first drawings of the design for the set, and brought me to Value Village to find this pair of lovingly worn shoes. More on the process to come! #bodiedindivisible #yycevents #yyc #calgary #yycarts #albertadance #yycdance #yyctapdance

We’re rehearsing a phrase. It takes practice being accurate with our tap sounds on the floor. #bodiedindivisible #yycevents #yyc #calgary #yycarts #albertadance #yycdance #yyctapdance #capezio #capeziok360

Two beings using sound as a means to communicate and connect. Taking away our sight has been an interesting way to heighten our other senses. #bodiedindivisible #yycevents #yyc #calgary #yycarts #albertadance #yycdance #yyctapdance #capezio #capeziok360

A moment from our tap rehearsal for our piece Polyhedron. It takes heightened concentration/focus to connect to each other in our masks. #bodiedindivisible #yycevents #yyc #calgary #yycarts #albertadance #yycdance #yyctapdance

We’re rehearsing our unconventional tap dance or alien tap as we lovingly call it. We’re experimenting with shifting the perspective of the choreography, by making sounds and playing rhythms laying down that we normally do standing up. #bodiedindivisible #yycevents #yyc #calgary #yycarts #albertadance #yycdance #yyctapdance #capezio #capeziok360

Alicia Ward is an enthusiastic human being from Calgary, AB who loves performing, teaching, and promoting a love of dance. Creating and performing for young audiences is a passion that Alicia has cultivated over 11 years in the Calgary arts education and presentation scene.

Let's announce our final #tapmaster who will be joining us at #RBS2019 as esteemed faculty! We are trying to stay cool, but frankly this is an opportunity not to be missed and we are too excited to hold it in! Brenda Bufalino, a mixed genre performer, is best known for her mastery of Tap Dance. As a soloist, and choreographer/director of The American Tap Dance Orchestra, she has performed and taught Internationally for over 25 years. Her collaborations with her partner and mentor the great Charles ‘Honi’ Coles, and her many performances with Gregory Hines, The Nicholas Brothers, and the many giants of tap dance has infused her with the essence of the form that she now shares, with her stories, teaching, and dances. Her own experimental work, with taps, electronics and poetry has influenced the next two generations of tap artists, and she is still creating new experimental and traditional tap works and performances. Her collaborations with artists, Frank Kimbrough, Jay Clayton, and Joe Fonda among others, places her solidly in the Jazz and World Music Traditions. She has performed solo and with her company “The American Tap Dance Orchestra” at all the major venues; Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, The Joyce Theater, The Kennedy center and major theaters across America and Europe. For the State Department the ATDO toured Eastern Europe introducing the newly democratic theaters to the world of Tap Dance. With her company she appeared in the PBS special Tap Dance in America...with Gregory Hines. As an international Master Tap Teacher, Mentor and Lecturer she was instrumental in the creation of Tap Festivals, which are still thriving throughout the world. An author and playwright, vocalist and recording artist, Ms. Bufalino is also a ceramicist creating hand built art and functional pieces. Ms. Bufalino has been awarded several National Endowment for The Arts Awards. In 2009 the NEA deemed two of her choreographies for the ATDO “American Masterpieces.” These two works; “Buff Loves Basie,” and “The Haitian Fight Song,” were performed by Ms. Bufalino and “The New Tap Dance Orchestra” at Bruno Walter Auditorium at Lincoln Center, and Symphony Space, NYC.
