What if tap had developed its own family of instruments alongside the modern drum kit? This research explores that question through the creation of new instruments for tap dance that expand the possibilities of foot percussion. Featured works include the Tap Kit (Canada Council for the Arts), designed in collaboration with Joe Adamick, an instrument inspired by the modern drum kit that incorporates low, mid, and high toms alongside snare, and kick inspired components. Also presented are Brush Shoes (Shoe Dreams, DanceMakers), developed in collaboration with Sophie Moynan, which extend bristles beneath the toe to create sustained, sweeping textures inspired by drum brushes. In this session, tap percussionist Brianna Maltais will be joined by Detroit-based bassist Dylan Sherman to perform compositions that explore the sounds, textures, and creative possibilities of these tap instruments.
