Duet for Tap and Galoshes

Duet for Tap and Galoshes is a visual restructuring of a real time tap performance, presented in two parts. In part one, Laurie’s feet fill the television screen, and different close-ups of the feet are edited to the beats of the tap rhythms, creating a quickly paced montage of sound and image seen from different points of view. In part two, Laurie substitutes tap shoes for a pair of semi-translucent galoshes to show the workings of her bare feet, visible through the galoshes.
