We are thrilled that Little Dead Riding Hood Composer Andrew Edwards was interviewed for Dancer Universe:

Composing Original Music for a Tap Dance Opera

How many of us have dreamed of being the first dancers to interpret a particular piece of music? How many of us have the honor of commissioning a score for a concert dance piece? Chicago Tap Theatre has done just that for its upcoming fairytale tap opera, Little Dead Riding Hood, which incorporates the story-telling aspects of a fairytale ballet with rhythmic elements of tap and artistic innovations of jazz and modern. To help them pull off this amazing feat, CTT Artistic Director Mark Yonally hired film composer Andrew Edwards to write the music for an entire evening of dance. The collaboration led to some amazing discoveries for both Andrew and the company. Read on to learn more about the process and the art of writing music for dancers.
