Episode Notes 2020 was a turbulent year for the world! It was also, extremely turbulent for Chicago's tapdance community. In this interview with Mark Yonally, we talk about how that moment inspired us to work together and build something equitable. “We came together in the spirit of unity, transparency and accountability! We are being the change we want to see,” said M.A.D.D. Rhythms Artistic Director Bril Barrett. “Chicago’s tap community has been fractured for a long time and it feels so good to be shuffling towards a solution!” “It is such a distinct pleasure to work with Bril and M.A.D.D. Rhythms to create this incredibly necessary celebration of the Chicago tap dance community and be a part of something that is in the service of sharing our common language, healing our community and hitting the wood!,” added Chicago Tap Theatre Artistic Director Mark Yonally.
