Savion Glover — Bare Soundz
After wowing audiences at Sadler’s Wells and receiving an Olivier Award nomination last year for his first ever UK performances, the undisputed master of tap dance Savion Glover makes a much-anticipated return.
After making his Broadway debut at the tender age of 12 alongside Sammy Davis Jr, Savion Glover’s mastery of tap dance soon saw him shoot to fame. Over the years he has worked on a truly diverse range of projects, from pop videos for P Diddy to a film with Spike Lee - not to mention picking up a Tony Award along the way.
Savion Glover’s unique style delivers much more than you might expect from a tap dance performance. Watching him tap out a bass rhythm with one foot and then simultaneously overlay complex riffs with the other is an awe-inspiring display of skill.
- "An artistically fearless tap dancer. The guy is a genius"
- THE SEATTLE TIMES
- "Glover hears music through his feet and plays with it like an angel"
- THE GUARDIAN
His new show Bare Soundz explores jazz, Caribbean beats and more. This rare UK appearance by Savion Glover at Sadler’s Wells also features regular collaborators Marshall Davis Jr and Maurice Chestnut.
