Chicago Human Rhythm Project’s 19th Annual Festival Takes Place at
Jay Pritzker Pavilion,
Cultural Center, Museum of Contemporary Art, Fine Arts Building,
Roosevelt University
CHICAGO—The peak of summer in Chicago will offer the peak of tap
festivals when the Chicago Human Rhythm Project (CHRP), the world’s
only year-round presenter of American tap dance and contemporary
percussive arts, presents Rhythm World, the oldest and most
comprehensive festival of American tap in the world. Now in its 19th
year of performance and education programs, Rhythm World takes place
July 27–August 9 throughout downtown Chicago, including the Jay
Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park, the Fine Arts Building, Chicago
Cultural Center, Museum=2 0of Contemporary Art and Roosevelt University.
CHRP Founder and Director Lane Alexander returns to the
director’s seat after three years of guest direction by Jason
Samuels Smith, Dianne Walker and Derick Grant. As always, this
year’s Rhythm World will feature perennial favorites, including
Bessie Award winner Sam Weber and Broadway diva Dormeshia Sumbry-
Edwards, alongside new and emerging artists, including Jason Janus, a
principal of the Texas tap repertory company Tapestry, and Chloe
Arnold, founder and director of the Los Angeles Tap Fest.
Education Programs
Rhythm World begins July 27 with intensive residencies led by Sam
Weber and Derick Grant at the Fine Arts Building, 410 S. Michigan
Ave., and members of Step Afrika! at the Museum of Contemporary Art
(MCA), 220 E. Chicago Ave. Weber, a Bessie Award winner and former
Joffrey 2 member, is internationally recognized as one of the
greatest tap virtuosos of all time as well as a master choreographer
and master teacher. Grant was an original company member and dance
captain for Bring in Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk and recently toured
the country with his creation A Night Out: Tap!. Step Afrika!, based
in Washington, D.C., is the first professional company in the world
dedicated to the tradition of stepping, and they will make their full-
company Chicago debut on CHRP8 0s Global Rhythms program at the Harris
Theater in November 2009.
Courses, workshops and master classes take place August

younger members of the pre-professional repertory companies an
opportunity to benefit from the expertise available during Rhythm
World. More than 120 dancers between the ages of 12 and 19,
representing 14 youth tap ensembles from the U.S., China, Brazil,
Canada, Panama and other locations, will gather to study new
choreography, technique, improvisation and theatre-related topics.
YTEC participants will learn three new works by Jason Janus,
Dormeshia Sumbry-Edwards and Step Afrika! while the PrepTEC students
will learn an historical dance from Dianne Walker20created by her
mentor, native Chicagoan Leon Collins.

TVC PERFORMS AT THE JACOB’S PILLOW 13TH ANNUAL COMMUNITY DAY
ALL AGES WELCOME ON SUNDAY, JULY 26TH
10am—1pm
“FEEL THE PILLOW BEAT” WITH A DAY OF FREE EVENTS,INCLUDING PERFORMANCES, WORKSHOPS, AND ACTIVITIES
July 10, 2009 (Becket, Mass.) — The ever-popular, free Community Day takes center stage at Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival on Sunday, July 26 from 10am—1pm. Visitors of all ages are welcome to the world-renowned dance mecca’s hilltop location, in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts, for a day of performance and participation. Children and adults may take part in the numerous free activities ranging from dance performances and rhythmic crafts to movement workshops and a book reading by Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Jules Feiffer and his daughter Kate Feiffer. The community is invited to join in the theme of the day and “Feel the Pillow Beat” with percussive performances on the Pillow’s Inside/Out stage by The Vanaver Caravan, Commonwealth Tap Collective, and Karim Nagi. The Jacob’s Pillow Community Day, now in its 13th incarnation, deepens the ties between an arts institution and its community while ensuring a memorable summer’s day.??Set against an open vista of the Berkshire hills—with an audience area perfectly suited to picnics—the outdoor Inside/Out stage features three energetic, family-friendly performances. Established in 1972 and directed by Bill and Livia Drapkin Vanaver, The Vanaver Caravan draws on a diverse range of cultural traditions in creating its own dance and music. Performed with live accompaniment, the program offers a display of Appalachian clog dancing, body percussion, Afro-Brazilian and East Indian stick dancing, and Vigilante Man—a dance combining poles with hand-and-foot percussion. The Vanaver Caravan will also lead a community-wide dance party on the Pillow’s Great Lawn. Commonwealth Tap Collective, a group of Boston and Berkshire County tap dancers—including Stefanie Weber, an alumna of The School at Jacob’s Pillow—presents its own half-hour show. Karim Nagi brings ARABIQA, a show devoted to traditional Arab dance and music. Nagi, a teacher and performer originally from Egypt, specializes in Arab, Turkish, and Andalusian hand percussion—he has mastered, among other instruments, the Egyptian tabla (goblet drum), riqq (tambourine), duff (frame drum), and segat (brass castanets).
