BIOGRAPHY
ROXANE BUTTERFLY
Founder and Artistic Director of Roxane
Butterfly's Worldbeats
One of the most innovative tap-dancer of her generation, Roxane Butterfly has won recognition from both dance and music critics around the world. Selected as a Fellow choreographer by the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation in 2006, she is the only woman tap-dancer who ever received a Bessie Award (Outstanding Creative Achievement in 1999) as well as a NYFA Fellow Choreographer (2002), Arts International Recipient (2004), Manhattan Creative Arts Fund Grantee (2004 & 2005) and Lower Manhattan Cultural Council grantee (2005). She was featured as one of the "25 Best" featured in Dance Magazine in 2002. Roxane is more than a "dancer".
"A maverick on the contemporary dance scene" (Robert Johnson, The Star-Ledger), she is an accomplished percussionist with her feet. Ligth and fluid, she allies lyricism to dexterity with an "unabashed and unruffled showmanship" (The New Yorker).
At home in the jazz and world-music scenes, she was baptized Butterfly by her legendary tap-mentor Jimmy Slyde who took her under his wing in 1991. Butterfly is a world-class citizen who mixes in her performances both her Mediterranean background and her New York reality. A member of Unesco's International Dance Council, her collaborations with handicapped children, her involvement against domestic violence and against the practice of female genital mutilation, are only a few of the many layers who give to Butterfly's world a unique consistency. Quoted as the 'Impresario of Tap' by The Village Voice she has toured solo throughout the US and Canada as well as in West Africa, Sri-Lanka, Korea, Israel, Russia, Slovania, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Italy, France, Spain, England, Holland, Austria, Spain, Germany, Israel and The Reunion Island.
Her dance credits include featured solo guest-appearances at the American Dance Festival (July '04), City Center ('Oct 04, NYC), Aaron Davis Hall (Nov 04, NYC), Jacob's Pillow,Town Hall, the Joyce Theater (with 'Jazz Tap Ensemble), Saint-Marks Church, the New Victory Theater (with 'Urban Tap'), the the Duke on 42nd Street, the NY NY Hotel in Las Vegas (with the spectacular Hip Hop Musical 'MADhattan'), the Ford Theater (Los Angeles), Le Theatre National de la Danse et de l'Image (Chateauvallon/France), the Tanzhaus of Dusseldorf (Germany) and much more... with a highlight in 1996 when she invited Savion Glover ('Bring In Da Noise') and Tamango ('Urban Tap') to perform in her own production at Le Theatre de Suresnes in France. She recently ended a 4 months engagement at the famous Teatro Zinzani in Seattle .
Her former dance-music ensemble "BeauteeZ'n The Beat" has been invited for three consecutive years at Symphony Space, and has appeared at the Houston Wortham Center (TX), Saint Peter's Church , Joe's Pub, Tribeca Performing Arts Center, Saint Clement Theater, Miller Theater, NYACK Performing Arts Center , Jamaica Center For Arts and Learnings, Brooklyn Children's Museum, Makor and many more...
Her music credits include performances for the National Performing Arts Convention with vocalist Bobby MacFerrin at the Byham Theater (Pittsburgh) Montreal Jazz Festival, the Clifford Brown Jazz Festival (Delaware), a guest appearance at La Cigale (Paris) with vocalist Elizabeth Kontomanou, the Wheatland Festival (Michigan), Festival de Jazz de Terrassa (Spain), The Berks County Jazz Festival (PA), the Nice and Toulon Jazz Festivals (France), the Duke Ellington Sacred Concert (with both the New York Virtuosi and the Stamford Symphony Orchestras), the Cab Calloway Orchestra and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra (to name only a few). She has been invited to sit in with many bands led by renowned musicians such as saxophonist Ravi Coltrane, guitarists Stanley Jordan and Les Paul, pianists Barry Harris and Cheik Tidiane Seck (from Mali), moroccan oudist Tarik Banzi and more... She has also shared the bill with bassist Ron Carter, Aldo Romano trio, experimental bassist Barre Philipps and vibraphonist Stefon Harris along with dancers such as Gregory Hines, the Nicholas Brothers and the Original Hoofers.
Her film credits: Roxane is currently featured in the documentary "Touch The Sound" by Thomas Riedlsheimer. Butterfly is featured in the motion picture "An Interrupted Conversation" on the life of drummer Denis Charles (by Veronique Doumbe), as well as in the B.B.C Special "Fascinating Rhythm" (by Iann Leese) and was broadcasted on WBGO (radio Jazz 88 ). She also coached the great Pablo Veron in the tap-sequences of Sally Potter's "Tango Lesson" (Winner of the Hollywood-Best-Choreography-in-Motion Picture Award/1998).
Her teaching credits include on going classes at Sarah Lawrence College, Steps on Broadway, the 92nd Street Y, a new tap-program starting in the Falls of 2004 at Dance Space, and the numerous jam-sessions she originated in Europe and NYC, allowing many younger dancers to grow in the irreplacable context of live-jazz performances. She presented tap-seminars at the New York Library, the universities of Virginia , Houston , Stephens College and was a guest-speaker on gender-inequalities at the last Dance/USA national roundtable. Gaining attention as a writer, she was recently published by Jazz Hot, the International Tap Association and in the readers section of The Nation.
