We are excited to have our artist in residence Lisa La Touche perform at the Whitney Museum of American Art on January 12th at 11:30am.

From the Whitney:

Join us for a performance by tap dancer and choreographer Lisa La Touche, presented as part of Armstrong Now, a residency-based project connecting artists with the Louis Armstrong Archives. La Touche’s dynamic performance delves into the intersections of jazz, tap, and African American migration history. In collaboration with trumpeter Marquis Hill, Junius Paul and Joel Ross, La Touche will explore not only Louis but also his wife Lucille’s rich legacies through an expansive multimedia performance. Experience this award-winning artist’s powerful rhythm and storytelling in an innovative presentation of Armstrong’s influence.

Admission is free, tickets are required and capacity is extremely limited. Advance tickets are recommended.
