Dance carries knowledge about how people live: their landscapes, communities and histories. Now a UT Austin team is working to teach AI to read it through motion-capture technologies to help preserve these traditions and uncover new knowledge.

Dance Assistant Professor Sinclair Emoghene and Engineering Assistant Professor Lillian Chin will lead the Movement Language Model, a project funded by a $643,719 grant from the Humanities and AI Virtual Institute at Schmidt Sciences. The team will analyze dance recordings from around the world to explore how geography and culture shape movement and to preserve the knowledge embedded these traditions hold as they evolve.

For 20 years, UT Austin’s Drama for Schools program has helped educators bring arts-based learning into classrooms. At Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders, that work has grown into a collaboration where students help design curriculum, explore climate resilience through the arts and teach their peers.

Deep in the heart of the Butler School of Music, a giant is stirring back to life.

The towering pipe organ in Bates Recital Hall was the largest tracker organ in the United States when it was built in 1982. After decades of use and years of declining activity, a restoration effort is bringing new life to the instrument and the music program built around it.

In the latest issue of Arts Next magazine, discover how organist Gregory Eaton, dedicated donors and renewed student interest are helping preserve this extraordinary instrument for future generations.

And hear the organ in person! Eaton will be joined by organist David Hurd for a concert on Monday, Oct. 19, at 7:30 p.m. in Bates Recital Hall.

Before Texas and Tennessee meet on the field this weekend, we’re putting their signature colors head-to-head.

These shades may belong to the same color family, but through a fine arts lens, they’re playing entirely different games. How do artists and designers see these colors?

Swipe to see how the two oranges compare, then tell us how you would describe each one without using the word “orange.”
