A movement born out of migration and distance—out of likeness and difference. In this mutually birthed language we seek to obliterate the illusion that we are separate from each other and the environment that holds us together. We are no bigger or smaller. We are a brotherhood. A kinship.

We are all one in a way. A people regularly digesting rhythm from the sounds of life, but we all express what we hear or witness differently. Tap connects sound and movement on that natural level, like our existence on this earth. A community of human beings living rhythmic lifestyles.
