IT’S TIME TO BE IN THE ROOM AGAIN. To feel that collective breath, the shared silence, the spontaneous applause that erupts when something extraordinary happens onstage. Thank you for being here tonight— thank you for choosing to show up, to engage, and to be part of something live.

Creating moments of awe—like the one you’re about to experience tonight—is what makes the TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND season so unique. It’s international. It’s deeply curated. It’s intentionally designed to connect across cultures, communities, and generations.

These artists speak through movement. And while it can be hard to put into words, what they create is undeniable when you’re in the room. Diverse. Global. Powerful.

Surprising. Moving. That’s the magic of TITAS. Again, nothing replaces the live experience.

We’re proud to contribute to the international profile of Dallas. We celebrate our adventurous, curious, and passionate audiences. And we recognize the immense value that cultural exchange and the arts bring to our communities. This is the heart of TITAS—it’s how we help shape and elevate the cultural landscape of North Texas.

And every season, new audience members tell us the same thing:

"I’m overwhelmed—I had no idea. This was not what I expected."

That reaction? It never gets old. It’s Golden.

After more than four decades of presenting groundbreaking dance, we know the power of what happens when world-class artists meet open-hearted audiences.

And the 2025/26 season will not disappoint.

Ten extraordinary companies from the U.S., Spain, Canada, Taiwan, and France— including three making their Texas or U.S. debut right here in Dallas. Breathtaking artistry, thrilling athleticism, unforgettable performances. This is a season you won’t want to miss.

So thank you.

Thank you for being part of another remarkable year. Thank you for saying yes to live performance. Thank you for supporting TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND and the AT&T Performing Arts Center.

What we do together truly makes a difference.

Charles Santos, Executive Director/Artistic Director TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND

Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, Drazen received his BFA in Dance from Point Park University, where he trained in a range of techniques that shaped his versatility. Drazen’s expansive skill set is exemplified through his performances of works by some of the most influential choreographers in the field.

His repertoire includes Sweet Fields by Twyla Tharp, Cry Me by Jae Man Joo, Serenade by George Balanchine, Boots on the Ground by Mike Tyus and Luca Renzi, Cloudline by Robyn Mineko, and Steel City by Houston Thomas—each piece contributing to his rich and diverse dance experience. These works have deepened his understanding of movement, storytelling, and collaboration. With a strong educational foundation and a steadily growing professional career, Drazen Wilmers continues to establish himself as a remarkable and evolving talent within the dance community. He joined COMPLEXIONS in 2025.
