This school year, Company E performed IMPULSE!, a 45-minute collaborative performance using dance, live and recorded music, and storytelling to follow one character’s search for his own pulse.

The show reveals that all living things — including the Earth — have a unique heartbeat, and that protecting the planet’s pulse ultimately protects our own.

ℹ️ This program was offered through DC Collaborative’s Education Programs Catalogue at no cost to DC Public Schools and DC Public Charter Schools. Interested in offering a program like this? Sign up for our info session on how to work with DC schools. Register here: https://tr.ee/OqRBOlyNdQ
