THREE – Tap into Topology
(Bill Simpson, Topology & Grant Collins)
Saturday September 21, 2019
“An impressive fusion of tap, percussion and instrumental musicianship … a synthesis of movement and music not to be missed
Topology works with rhythmic genius/drum-kit soloist, Grant Collins and tap-dance wizard Bill Simpson to create bold new territory in both music and dance. Grant pushes all the artists to the edge of rhythmic possibility with his never compromising groove on the drums, while Bill dances on the precipice, creating new space with his body and resounding shoes.
Three features new original compositions, for drums and tap, and Topology’s saxophone, strings and piano. It’s a fearsomely energetic performance that brings together ideas and inventions from three distinct genres to generate something both unfamiliar and intoxicating.
After sold-out shows and rave reviews at Brisbane Powerhouse, this exhilarating mix of music and dance will set the RPAC stage on fire!”
