Chicago
Human Rhythm Project's resident performing and teaching ensemble has an
extensive repertory including the classics, contemporary jazz tap and
experimental rhythmic expression like body drumming. Technical
virtuosity and passion are the hallmarks of the company which never
fails to engage and surprise the most seasoned theater audiences.
The
group was created in 2004 as a choreographic project with funding from
the Chicago Dancemakers Forum and an Illinois Arts Council Choreography
Fellowship and has since performed at the 5th Anniversary Beijing
International Dance Festival, the Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park
(with the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic), Dance For Life and San Antonio's
Third Coast Rhythm Project just to name a few. BAM! has received
critical accolades, standing ovations and has appeared as a part of
Dance Chicago, Jubilate at the Harris Theater, the Spertus Institute and
other Chicago venues. BAM! currently tours its lecture
demonstration "We All Got Rhythm" to K-12 schools through Urban Gateways
and has performed more than 120 shows to over 36,000 students in the
last three years.
BAM!
is currently on the Illinois Arts Council Artstour Artists Roster. For
