“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.
Special thanks to H-E-B, Continental Airlines, Radisson Town Lake and the Mitte Foundation for their support of Cancion del Cuerpo.

project canción del cuerpo
i, I’m researcher and dancer. I’m interested in your project because I directed a documentary “The Cachaça called Dance”, what a went to some places in brazil to show the people that dance in this places. And I also developed one performance “Space to dance” that I go to some plubic place, and the people chose costume, music and give me some idea, or motivation to improvise dance, somethimes the people dance with me.
I would like to know if it’s possible to show my work in the fondation, or think one kind of interchange.
If you would like of some more information about me and my work:
