BE IN THE ROOM! The more time passes, the more it has become evident that it is time to rejoin shared experiences. Be In The Room is about our social nature— the joy of connecting with friends, and the awe of a live theater or museum experience. Nothing replaces that “shared” live experience, and that’s what makes TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND so incredibly special. We are thrilled to bring you diverse, exciting, and sometimes unconventional, works right here in Dallas. Relevant, exhilarating, and often surprising—that’s the allure of TITAS. We are deeply grateful for you, our patrons. This season is all about celebrating the unique power of culture and artistic expression through movement. At the heart of what we do is cultural awareness and the enrichment of our community. The 2025:26 season promises not to disappoint. With bold works from artists around the globe—Spain, Canada, France, Taiwan, and the U.S.— we’re presenting performances that challenge and inspire. Artists committed to taking artistic risks, challenging our audiences with these performances, that’s what makes TITAS so special. Four of these companies will be making their debuts in Dallas. Innovative, cool and hip, makes this a Must-See season of surprising performances. Also, we listened to your suggestions and moved the curtain time to 7:30pm. Thank you for being part of another year of extraordinary live performances. Your engagement with the arts through TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND and the AT&T Performing Arts Center truly makes a difference. What we do together is more than just an experience; it’s a movement. Gratefully,

Charles Santos Executive Director/Artistic Director

It’s so great to leave the theater not just satisfied, but truly uplifted. The New York Times says it best, “If there is any company working today whose dancers pack a more sophisticated and vibrant kinetic punch … I can’t think of it.” Ronald K Brown/ EVIDENCE is that special—profound, absolutely moving, and a performance experience to be felt rather than merely watched. The work explores the importance of community in African American culture, offering a deeply soulful evening of dance that everyone should experience— an event not to be missed.

TITAS is beyond excited to welcome back France’s incredible Ballet Preljocaj with their breathtaking work, GRAVITÉ, an exploration of gravity. Hard to believe it’s been since 1998 that Preljocaj last wowed Dallas audiences! One of France’s most celebrated contemporary dance companies, we couldn’t be more thrilled to bring their world-renowned artistry back to the TITAS stage. Based in Aix-en-Provence, France, where Ballet Preljocaj is a national choreographic center, Angelin Preljocaj’s company is known for its bold, dramatic choreography— brought to life by stunningly skilled dancers and striking music. These performers are pure athleticism and artistry, and from the moment they step on stage, they own the audience. Captivating, boundary-pushing, and endlessly inventive, Ballet Preljocaj is a shining example of European contemporary dance at its finest. Their return to Dallas is long overdue, and trust us—you won’t want to miss it! 6

And the features?! They are truly extraordinary. At its core, BIRDY explores the profound connections between humans and nature.

Rhythm, Power and Soul— that’s what makes flamenco so exciting to watch. It’s an experience! With a powerhouse cast of dancers and musicians from the U.S. and Spain, Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana brings all that pride and passion to life in Tablao Flamenco. The name “tablao” comes from the wooden floor dancers stomp and glide across, and these cozy venues are where flamenco truly comes alive — raw, real, and right in front of you. It’s not polished to perfection — and that’s the magic of it. Every stomp, strum, and soulful cry is full of feeling, and the artists feed off each other’s energy. You’re not just watching a show — you’re right there in the thick of it. It’s bold, it’s wild, and it’s unforgettable. TITAS is thrilled to present Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana in their Texas debut, don’t miss this performance!

Led by dance legends Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson—“two of the greatest virtuosos ever to emerge from Ailey land,” as The New York Times puts it—Complexions Contemporary Ballet is turning heads and winning hearts around the globe. With their electrifying style and unbelievably talented dancers, they’re pulling new audiences into the world of dance. Bold, passionate, and always fresh, Complexions is what contemporary ballet looks like now—and where it’s headed. With music ranging from David Bowie to Lenny Kravitz, Bach and Beethoven, and Prince, this definitely isn’t your grandmother’s ballet company.

Companies like Complexions are game-changing: they’re forging a path for what ballet can be instead of what it historically has been.” - THE GUARDIAN

COMPAGNIE MARIE CHOUINARD

MAY 01 . 02 2026 | 7:30 PM MOODY PERFORMANCE HALL Compagnie Marie Chouinard wowed Dallas audiences just two seasons ago with the stunningly beautiful and wildly inventive GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS. Chouinard herself is a powerhouse in the dance world— named Officière des Arts et des Lettres in France, a Bessie Award winner in New York, and the recipient of more than 30 top honors.

“Marie Chouinard’s RITE OF SPRING is, in short, a masterpiece.” - PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE REVIEW

GALLIM is a fresh, fearless dance company that’s truly in a league of its own. Watching a GALLIM performance is like stepping into a whole new world—one that dives deep into the full range of human experience, where movement feels raw, curious, and deeply connected to big ideas. SAMA is a powerhouse of a performance—bold, physical, and absolutely astonishing. It’s got this tribal energy, with dancers on stilts, others grounded barefoot, all moving through a world where the body becomes something more, something beyond. It’s new, it’s cool, it’s daring, it’s electric—and it is exactly why live performance is so thrilling. This will definitely be an experience, unique in the season. TITAS welcomes GALLIM to Texas!
