Join us for a performance by tap dancer and choreographer Lisa La Touche, presented as part of Armstrong Now, a residency-based project connecting artists with the Louis Armstrong Archives. La Touche’s dynamic performance delves into the intersections of jazz, tap, and African American migration history. In collaboration with trumpeter Marquis Hill, Junius Paul and Joel Ross, La Touche will explore not only Louis but also his wife Lucille’s rich legacies through an expansive multimedia performance. Experience this award-winning artist’s powerful rhythm and storytelling in an innovative presentation of Armstrong’s influence.
The Louis Armstrong House Museum (LAHM) sustains and promotes the cultural, historical, and humanitarian legacy of Louis Armstrong by preserving and interpreting Armstrong’s house and grounds, collecting and sharing archival materials that document Armstrong’s life and legacy, developing programs for the public that educate and inspire, and engaging with contemporary artists to create performances and new works.
