Danny Herman, director and choreographer, used the pandemic as the inspiration for his new work, #thebeatgoeson…
He was asked to choreograph for the first dance show of the Fall 2020 season right as the pandemic kicked in. He reflected, “My first thought was how am I going to do this on the internet?” Herman said. “Then I realized, no matter what was going to happen, I was going to present it. Nothing can stop this. There’s no quitting; we have to function during this time.” #thebeatgoeson… is a 12-minute dynamic tap piece that’s meant to be a salute to this particular moment.
