Pulse

Pulse features original choreography from three distinct voices, woven together and performed by award-winning student dance company Dance Repertory Theatre. Drawing inspiration from modern and contemporary styles, social and communal dance forms and African diasporic dance traditions, these works explore identity, transformation, rhythm and resilience. Pulse will showcase works by guest artists Vershawn Sanders Ward and Marjani Forte-Saunders (Haruka Weiser Memorial Commission), along with faculty member Magdalena Riley. Forte-Saunders' visit is made possible through a collaboration between UT Austin’s College of Fine Arts and Texas Performing Arts. It is supported through the Visiting Artists Chair in the College of Fine Arts.
