DRAMATURGICAL NOTE

Performance offers the opportunity to step into realms that disrupt our expectations, to expand how we understand the world around us and to find connection in, perhaps, unexpected places. The 2023 Festival features over 40 new works from art-makers who are re-shaping the world in which we live through a breadth of forms and styles, showcasing the rich variety of artistic voices across the UT campus and Austin community. These pieces actively challenge expectations in order to push toward a future that champions community connection, equity and rigorous investigation of the world in which we live. We welcome you to these provocative works and invite you to enter with curiosity.
