    For me, dancing means freedom.”
    – Álvaro Restrepo

    The joy of expression and the skill of interpretation are pillars in the world of dance. In this crowd-pleasing performance experience, notable Artistic Directors and The University of Texas Faculty Members Lyn C. Wiltshire and Yacov Sharir, along with guest choreographer Álvaro Restrepo, bring a vital new dance experience to the stage. Restrepo is the co-director of El Colegio Del Cuerpo de Cartagena de Indias – Colombia´s first Contemporary Dance choreographic formation center, a dance school for disadvantaged children, and a professional dance company. Through his work with Afrodescendent communities, Restrepo’s dedication to his art becomes a vehicle for exploring human rights, race and social justice. This special program will present new works by the featured choreographers, performed by dance majors in UT’s Dance Repertory Theatre together with company members of El Colegio del Cuerpo.
