B E IN TH E R O O M! NOTHING REPLACES THE LIVE EXPERIENCE! That visceral connection, the shared group energy we get from a live performance is very special and cannot be replicated on a digital screen. Be In The Room, and be a part of that powerful personal connection with art.

Creating moments of awe, like tonight’s performance, is what makes the TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND season so very special. It’s hard to put into words, but it’s something you just have to experience in the room, with an audience. Diverse, global, entertaining, all describe the magic of TITAS. Nothing Replaces the Live Experience.

We celebrate and contribute to the international profile of our city. We celebrate the value of serving an adventurous and eager audience, and we celebrate the value of cultural awareness and the enrichment of a community. This is the heart of TITAS and our contribution to the cultural landscape of North Texas. New audience members are always surprised by their experience. “I’m overwhelmed, this was not what I expected,” this is the comment we hear at virtually every performance. With four decades under our belt, we see the power of bringing top-notch artists from around the world to our city.

The 2024:25 season won’t disappoint. Breathtaking artistry, athletic and amazing dancers makes this a very special season of internationally touring companies. We proudly present a season of ten extraordinary companies from the United States, New Zealand and Spain, with four companies making their debuts and three companies performing with live music.

Thank you for being a part of another exciting year of performances, and thank you for engaging in the arts and with TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND and the AT&T Performing Arts Center.

What we do together, truly does make a difference.

DOUG VARONE AND DANCERS The 2024/25 season marks the Company's 39th year. On the concert stage, in opera, theater and on the screen, Varone's kinetically thrilling dances make essential connections and mine the complexity of the human spirit.

On tour, the company has performed in more than 125 cities in 45 states across the U.S. and in Europe, Asia, Canada, and South America. Stages include The Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music, San Francisco Performances, London's Queen Elizabeth Hall, Toronto's Harbourfront, Moscow's Stanislavsky Theater, Buenos Aires’ Teatro San Martin, the Venice Biennale, Marble Hall in Tokyo, and the Bates, Jacob's Pillow and American Dance Festivals. In opera and theater, the company regularly collaborates on the many Varone-directed or choreographed productions that have been produced around the country.

Doug Varone and Dancers are among the most sought-after ambassadors and educators in the field. The company was selected to tour as part of the DanceMotionUSASM program, a joint project between BAM and the US Department of State, touring, performing and teaching in Argentina, Paraguay and Peru for a month. This project culminated in the premiere of a new commissioned work for Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Next Wave Festival, in collaboration with the Argentina-based Brenda Angiel Aerial Dance.

Other BAM produced seasons include Dense Terrain (2007) and the 30th Anniversary Season (2016) and In the Shelter of the Fold/Epilogue (2019).

For the past 20 years, the company’s annual summer intensive workshops at leading universities have attracted students and professionals from around the globe. Other educational initiatives include Virtual Varone, a program which creates virtual residencies around the globe and the Education/Performance Project which enfolds college dance students into the company’s repertory, directly sharing the stage with company dancers. The Project has been a cornerstone in the company’s teaching and mentorship programs, creating an important dialogue with young dancers about their artistry and the effect they can have in the world today.

Varone, his dancers and designers have been honored with 11 Bessie Awards.

The Company’s creative output is as varied as Varone’s interests. Recent projects include: everything is fine, a full evening movement play based on the poems of Billy Collins, with a new score by David Van Tieghem; The Scrapbook, a digital journal of 10 films created and directed by Varone, set to iconic songs from the 1940s-50’s and Somewhere, Varone’s acclaimed non-narrative version of Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story, and To My Arms/Restore set to Handel.

The Company’s Summer Workshop will be held in New York City from June 2-13. To learn more about this program and other Company activities, visit dovadance.org.
