A transformative collaboration between two Chicago tap companies debuts at Dance Chicago 2014!

Follow the evolution of music and movement from the dawn of time to humanity's future told through tap dance, body percussion, and live musical accompaniment. EVOLUTION presents a wide range of works: a cappella improvography that employs a number of musical compositional devices; playing with movement in circles, dimensions, on the ground - moving in different levels; choreography set to sounds of the rainforest (for real!); a work playing with the idea of sound and what it is like to hear for the first time - based on the experience of the choreographer's fiancee, who was born deaf and then had a surgery that gave him the ability to hear. Also, watch for surprise guest dancers and a few repertory favorites. jorsTAP chicago's fifth installment, EVOLUTION, is directed and choreographed by tap dancer Kendra Jorstad with additional creative input from fellow hoofer, Tristan Bruns. jorsTAP: EVOLUTION proves jorsTAP chicago's continuing trend of professional and artistic growth.
