Event Description

CHICAGO - M.A.D.D. Rhythms, Chicago’s premier tap collective, is proud to announce the world premiere from Company Member Andrew Carr, “To Love You All Ways,”  October 5, 7:30 p.m.  at the Harold Washington Cultural Center, 4701 S. King Dr. (47th Street entrance).

Andrew Carr’s world premiere, “To Love you All Ways,'' is a deep dive into the
intersecting and interchangeable nature of love by way of expression through the outlet of percussive dance and music. “Every number in the show represents a new story being told, each taking a closer look into the countless avenues of love and human interaction that we observe in our everyday lives,” said Carr. “Whether it is the young, playful love that we encounter at the beginning of our lives, the shared love expressed within a community over mutual interests or the infatuation that we experience with a partner or even a crush. Everyone has given or received love at one point in their life and this show is about taking the concept of love and turning it into a journal entry with the stage and the dancers becoming the pen and paper. Even though the end of each piece may symbolize the end to one story on the surface level, the stories and authentic interactions that we experience as humans will allow these stories to live on forever.”

This world premiere is part of  M.A.D.D. Rhythms, Chicago’s premier tap collective, 2024 Chicago Tap Summit, October 4 - 6  at the Harold Washington Cultural Center, 4701 S. King Dr. (47th Street entrance) and additional events and appearances.
