DIVERSE | CAPTIVATING | GROUNDBREAKING – Words that speak to what sets TITAS Presents apart. Forward-thinking, surprising, intriguing and relevant are all precepts that guide the curation of the annual seasons we put together.

Dance is such a special art form. Athletic, difficult, luscious, inspiring and surprising— and time again, these are the descriptions I hear from audience members. For more than 35 years, TITAS Presents continues to present the coolest, the most innovative, the most remarkable dance artists touring the world today. First-time audience members say they had no idea dance was so cool, something our longtime subscribers have always known.

The 2018/2019 season won’t disappoint. Creative, soulful, gymnastic and breathtaking imagery makes this a very special set of international companies. Funny, stunning, inspiring and exciting, we proudly present a season of ten extraordinary companies from the United States and China. It is a season rich in creativity and soul-stirring performances.

Success is rooted in collaboration. Together, TITAS Presents and the AT&T Performing Arts Center are dedicated to cultivating talent, new work, and advancing the Arts in our ever-expanding cultural landscape. We are committed, both individually and jointly, to supporting a collaborative community that fosters the creative process. Tonight’s presentation exemplifies our commitment to that process, and to innovative programming. We bring the world to Dallas. Thank you for actively engaging in the Arts, and for being a part of the TITAS Presents and AT&T Performing Arts Center families. What we do together, truly does make a difference.
