Pulse is the leading quarterly publication for South Asian dance and music in the UK with a global perspective. Pulse magazine and website: www.pulseconnects.com, serve the arts sector by recording, critiquing, profiling and archiving South Asian dance and music.
As art forms from the Indian Sub-Continent, begin to throw roots in new soils, the outcomes also mutate and re-form. In order for the emerging work to thrive a critical mass of artists and a forum for debate and discussion is essential. Pulse strives to become the space for information exchange and critical analysis.
