Angela's Pulse

April 2023 - present

Managing Director

Angela's Pulse nurtures innovation, collaboration, and community-building through performance platforms, facilitation consultancy, and leadership development programs.

We center Black stories, spaces, and people as a liberatory practice for all those we engage with -- across generation, geography, race, and culture. We are an incubator, a womb space for visions to grow. We value circularity, iteration, and emergence in all we do, as resistance to the linearity of racist-capitalist patriarchy.

DANCING WHILE BLACK (DWB)
Since 2012, DWB has supported 22 emerging Black artists as Fellows, incubated more than two dozen works and held countless convenings for folx to share, connect and simply be. Dancing While Black operates at the intersection of aesthetics and organizing. Central to the work is building partnerships – with presenters, organizers, curators and artists.

BUILDING A BETTER FISHTRAP/ A'WE DEH YA
An iterative performance project rooted in the vanishing fishing tradition of choreographer Paloma McGregor's father, the project examines what happens when you leave your ancestral home. What do you take with you? Leave behind? Return to reclaim?

COMMUNITY
Angela's Pulse has spent more than a decade nurturing communities through short-term engagements and longer-term partnerships. We convene and facilitate interdisciplinary communities across generations and geography, in order to develop rich, relevant artistic work. Our embodied methodologies for collaboration -- including reading, writing, story-telling, drawing, and dancing -- create vital and enduring connections between people, places, and visions.
