Universal Theory

A GROUNDBREAKING COLLABORATION EXPLORING THE POETRY OF MATH, MOVEMENT AND MUSIC

Nov 13-15, 2026 at the Tulsa PAC: Liddy Doenges Theatre

A bold new interdisciplinary performance, Universal Theory, brings together contemporary dance and live orchestra in a sweeping exploration of the hidden patterns that shape our world. Blending mathematics, movement, and music into one immersive experience, Universal Theory transforms abstract equations into visceral art.

Through intricate choreography and a dynamic orchestral score, Universal Theory reveals the rhythm within symmetry, the harmony within proportion, and the tension within the chaos. Dancers embody mathematical principles-spirals, sequences, fractals, convergence-while the orchestra translates those same ideas into sweeping sonic landscapes.

Rather than presenting mathematics as distant or academic, Universal Theory invites audiences to experience it as something deeply human: a pulse, a pattern, a universal force connecting us all.
