“Mother Tongue” is a rhythm tap performance that celebrates language and diversity through movement and sound. Set to a soundtrack featuring female vocalists singing in multiple languages from around the world, the show immerses audiences in a lively, non-Anglicized experience that highlights rhythm as a universal language. Ryan P. Casey, an Open Doors Residency Artist, and his Off Beat Tap Company will dazzle audiences with their intricate rhythms and fast footwork.

The Open Doors Performing Arts Residency is part of the Artist Pathways Project, the inaugural program of the Arts Action Consortium, a collaboration of six Boston-based cultural organizations: Arts & Business Council, Assets for Artists, Bloom Arts Strategy, Dunamis, Midday Movement Series, and Ágora Cultural Architects.
