Synopsis

What happens when a tap-dancing orchestra has no conductor?

 

Four tap dancers attempt to come together as a “very serious” orchestra—but with big personalities, clashing rhythms and a lot of chaos, things don’t go quite as planned. Through playful competition, unexpected harmony and plenty of humour, they slowly discover how to listen, collaborate and make music together. Blending tap dance, rhythm and physical comedy, Chaos in Rhythm is a lively, interactive performance that invites everyone to join in and find the joy of making music together.
