SSR description:
Stone Soup Rhythms (SSR), the resident ensemble of the Chicago Human Rhythm Project, is a collective of emerging and established tap dance artists who bend time and space to make new work! The name Stone Soup Rhythms refers to a folktale in which a wayfaring stranger brings a small village together to create a communal feast, by enticing each member to add a unique ingredient.
SSR connects the ancient and sacred roots of percussive dance to the contemporary essence of personal expression and innovation, to create a feast of sound and movement.
