Funny, stunning, inspiring and exciting, we proudly present a season of ten extraordinary companies from China, South Korea, Canada, Mexico, France and the United States. It is a season rich in creativity and soul- stirring performances.

Success is rooted in collaboration. Together, TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND and the AT&T Performing Arts Center are dedicated to cultivating talent, new work, and advancing the Arts in our ever-expanding cultural landscape.
