RHYTHM is:

  • Perceived patterns of sensory awareness unfolding in movement and space.

  • Multi-modal. It’s something we feel. (Judge 2013)

  • How we relate, connect, and communicate. 

Susan Langer defines rhythm as concatenations of elements (Langer, 1967:323). "The main source of all functional continuity must have been the establishment of rhythms. Rhythmic concatenation is what really holds an organism together from moment to moment" (1967:323). Langer also notes that rhythms are made up of endless groupings of both smaller and larger rhythms (1967: 323). 

Rhythms are fundamental organizing principles of perception and action and are ubiquitous in locomotion, speech, and biological systems. - Laurel Trainor McMasters University
