Caleb Teicher and Nic Gareiss

Caleb Teicher specializes in musically-driven dance traditions and interdisciplinary collaboration. Their work has been featured by The New York Times, NPR, Forbes, Vogue, Interview Magazine, on the cover of Dance Magazine, and on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert alongside Regina Spektor.

Nic Gareiss is one of Dance Magazine's "25 to Watch." A dancer, musician, and dance researcher he draws from many percussive dance traditions, weaving together clog, flatfoot, and step dance footwork vocabulary, improvisation, and musical collaboration.

In this new 60-minute duo collaboration, Teicher and Gareiss explore improvisation, song, and percussive dance. Drawing on American tap dance, jazz, swing, lindy hop, Appalachian clogging, and Irish step dance, they create a breathtaking evening of dance rooted in time and place yet uniquely their own; a festive dialogue of sound, movement, and corporeal rapport.

Integral to this project, Caleb and Nic seek to connect dance and music traditions from urban and rural spaces with environments and communities that cultivate local connections - farms and farm stands. Using spaces of local growth for these performances encourages many kinds of sustenance-health of body and soul, balance of individual and community. 

Following a year of anxious separation, gatherings like Caleb and Nic's performances, centered on food and joyous movement, are designed to reunite us. In addition, it is the aim of this series to increase the overlap between agricultural and arts communities on the farm. To that end, Caleb and Nic will perform an abbreviated version of their work at the Agricultural Fair in West Tisbury, Morning Glory Farm and Slough Farm.
