WashU Dance Collective: Alchemy at The Edison Theatre at Washington University in Saint Louis

Dance can be a powerful tool that transforms the elements of time, space, and movement, into an art form that transcends social boundaries, creates shared experiences, and fosters unique perspectives and ideas about the world in which we live. Dance is a powerful form of communication that extends beyond physical performance to encompass emotional, spiritual, and intellectual interactions.

A visceral dive into the power of movement, Alchemy seeks to explore how kinetic energy can be both emotion and invention, the crack in the concrete that allows a rose to bloom. An eclectic dance concert that is unapologetically human, Alchemy dares you to feel everything—and to leave changed.

The WashU Dance Collective serves as the PAD’s resident dance company. WUDC is a unique blending of talented and expressive movers from diverse backgrounds who bring with them a wide range of movement styles and performance acumen. The dancers work with faculty, community, graduate, and undergraduate student choreographers, as well as perform throughout the St. Louis community.
