About us

Angela’s Pulse nurtures innovation, collaboration, and community-building through our 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.​ We design rich engagements that build, 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.

Dancing While Black
We center the voices of Black dance artists, providing opportunities to self-determine the languages and lenses that define our work. The Dance While Black (DWB) Fellowship supports emerging Black dance artists, particularly experimenters whose practices are hybrid. Since 2012, DWB has supported 30 emerging Black artists as Fellows, incubated more than three dozen new works and held countless convenings for folx to share, connect and simply be.

Building a Better Fishtrap/ A’we deh ya (All of us are here) is choreographer Paloma McGregor’s iterative performance project rooted in the vanishing fishing tradition of her father, Oscar McGregor, and three animating questions: What do you take with you? Leave behind? Return to reclaim? The project activates a choreographic call-and-response between body and place, colony and the United States mainland, art and activism. Having left St. Croix, her ancestral home, decades ago, McGregor uses performance as both an approach to research and spiritual wayfinding tool.
