We are a space where visual artists, writers, designers, poets, and makers of diverse backgrounds gather and create. We are primarily interested in art projects that directly interact and engage with students and bring art and arbitrariness to all places on Stanford's campus. To create arbitrarily is to embrace. We aim to be a space where students can tap into their creative urges in collaboration with others. We are driven by message rather than medium, allowing every story to manifest in whatever form it calls for.

We are a space for creatives to try each others’ mediums, exchange artistic hats, and converse in a collective language. Our goal is to foster interpersonal connection both within our group and within the larger student body through projects that encourage engaging with public spaces and exploring our campus.

Swingtime is Stanford's premiere performance-based swing dance troupe.

Our specialty is Savoy-style Lindy Hop, a style of swing born in late-'20s Harlem. We work with professional choreographers, dance historians, and dance legends to recreate swing-era dances and integrate current trends.

Swingtime's repertoire ranges from smooth swing with sleek moves to fast-paced Lindy Hop with jaw-dropping aerials. We are continually pressing the limits of how smooth, fast, and high we can go!

We are Talisman A Cappella. We were founded on Stanford's campus with an original intention of using music to shed light on underrepresented narratives, especially the music and stories of the Anti-Apartheid movement in South Africa. Every year, as Talisman recreates itself with new voices, we cull the stories that have moved us and formed us, building an ever-expanding repertoire that reflects what is most meaningful to us as individuals and as an ensemble.

Talisman has had the privilege to perform at several Bay Area Schools, tour in communities in California, the East Coast, the American Southwest, and the Southern United States. We embarked on five tours in South Africa where we have cultivated lasting relationships with several communities and organizations. In 2018, the group took a trip to Maui and Oahu as part of a year dedicated to learning and sharing narratives from the API experience, especially that of Native Hawaiians and their fight for sovereignty and reclamation. In 2019, we flew to Mumbai, and then to Udaipur, India. Ram Sampath, a music composer we met with in Mumbai, said to us: "You don't tolerate each other. You get along...You have to find what unites you and not what divides you." This message was and is timely and important, at home for many of our members in the United States, but also in many regions abroad.



We have also collaborated with local groups such as An Oakland Storyteller, various Bay Area community gospel choirs, Stanford Taiko, Stanford Everyday People, and numerous other Stanford student groups.

Talisman as a group is committed not only to education and the arts, but also to social change, equity, and cross-cultural exchange. As we sing, we lend our hearts to uplift, support, remember, and recall the work and wisdom of those who came before us in order to imagine a better world for ourselves and those to come. We invite you to share your voice and your stories with us!

The first goal of tapTH@T is to offer fellowship for advanced tap dancers and a forum in which they can maintain their skills, share their skills, and learn new skills from one another. Our organization will push members' limits by challenging them with new and more difficult choreography, both technically and stylistically speaking. Technical and stylistic expertise, precision, and achievement will be emphasized.

A second common goal is that of personal growth as tap dancers in a variety of styles. We will provide the opportunity for experienced tap dancers to explore new genres of tap dancing through student choreography as well as guest choreography and master classes.

The final goal of tapTH@T is to provide an outlet for sharing the artistic achievements and explorations of members through performance. Along with this goal, we hope to educate and entertain Stanford community members with our performances, introducing them to the art of tap dancing.
