'Transcendence' explores the ability to push past the norm and, through our own efforts or a nudge from something outside of ourselves, heighten our mundane experience beyond usual comforts. Through a blend of contemporary and avant-garde choreography, Transcendence pushes boundaries, questions limits, and reaches beyond the expected. Join us for an evening of performance where movement breaks through the margins of the physical world as we ask: How do you respond to limits? Compliance or rebellion?

Washington University Dance Collective serves as the Performing Arts Department’s resident dance company. WUDC is a unique blending of talented and expressive movers from very 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.
