Trinity Irish Dance Company (TIDC) is a uniquely Irish-American company that is the high watermark for their art form. Called ‘sophisticated and commanding’ by the Los Angeles Times and ‘impossibly complex’ by The New York Times, TIDC makes their Jacob’s Pillow debut this summer, presenting everything you expect, but like nothing you’d imagine. Performing in the Ted Shawn Theatre, TIDC’s mixed program will represent their range of genre-defying repertoire as well as classic works, featuring a live band. Among the works presented will be Mark Howard’s Soles, a tribal and timeless rhythmic study; Push, an explosion of hard-driving percussive power that exemplifies the company’s consistent message of female empowerment; and Michelle Dorrance and Melinda Sullivan’s American Traffic, a hybrid of Irish step and American tap that plays at the intersection of rhythmic sensibilities and rebellious histories.
