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.

ARTIST STATEMENTS Unconditional Inspired by Jeff Foster’s poem Forget unconditional love from his book You Were Never Broken, this work delves into the essence of water—the lifeblood of our existence.

The poem poignantly underscores how nothing human is perfect or unconditional.

But in recognizing, even embracing, the conditional in life and love, as we so often do today, we run the risk of descending into selfish egotism, of turning every action into a transaction, for some profit or benefit. Water by contrast holds the echoes of our ancestors, the imprint of every memory since the beginning of life on this planet, and flows as a physical embodiment of the unconditional, turning us towards one another, reminding us of what we have in common.

With an original composition by Philip Daniel, the soundscape mirrors the rhythms of water. Rising and receding, brimming with tension and release, water gives us life unconditionally. A poetic exploration of connection and resilience, Unconditional invites each of us to dive deep and discover what connects us all as humans.

“Forget unconditional love” – Jeff Foster (from his book “You were never broken”) Forget unconditional love. Forget loving perfectly.

Forget having a permanently open heart.

You can’t do it.

It’s an impossible goal that, paradoxically, makes you violent inside.

Your inner child rebels against any spiritual ideal.

You cannot do unconditional love.

But you can embrace your imperfect attempts to love, your failure to reach the goals, your disappointment, your exquisite shame, your ecstasy and your agony too.

You can bless your inherited conditional ideas of love.

You can celebrate your messy, deeply human, totally conditioned attempts to love, in unconditional present awareness.

Friend, even your failure to love unconditionally is welcome here, Unconditionally.

That is the true meaning of unconditional love: the love that smiles at our trying too.

Ito Robyn Mineko Williams is drawn to embodiments of memory, time, lineage and our relationships with the traces left in us of the people we encounter. This piece is called Ito, the word for thread, after the idea in Japanese folklore of a red string tied between the little fingers of those who will find each other in life, perhaps again and again, in different times, places or circumstances.

SCRAP As a member of the Tla’amin Nation, on the coast about 7 hours north of Seattle, WA, Cameron Fraser-Monroe writes, “I was taught, like many Indigenous Peoples, that challenging each other can be fun, and serves an important purpose, but left unchecked it can be damaging. We know that community must come above all else, and this piece examines what happens when competition produces fissures between people through repeated stress.” Cameron’s voice draws on traditional Native American, ballet and contemporary dance movement. The music for ‘SCRAP’ is by composer Delbert Anderson who pays tribute both to his own origin and to the under-recognized contribution of Indigenous musicians in the history of jazz.

This work is about all the ways we as humans have tried to organize ourselves in an effort to live cohesively since the dawn of time—etiquette, tradition, decorum— and it follows our successes and catastrophic failures along the way. Despite our best intentions, we will always make missteps, and hopefully, we are gentle with each other when we do. After all, it’s so hard to be a person in the world.

CHOREOGRAPHERS Cameron Fraser-Monroe (He/Him/His) “…fast-rising Indigenous dance artist Cameron Fraser-Monroe…” - Michael Crabb, Toronto Star on pays?ot for the National Ballet of Canada Cameron Fraser-Monroe is a member of the Tla’amin First Nation (Native American). At three years old he started Ukrainian dancing in Vernon, BC. He was privileged to receive several years of training and performance with World Champion Hoop Dancer Dallas Arcand and studied Grass Dance with Elder Mollie Bono.

Since graduating from the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School on the RWB Alumni Scholarship, he has performed with many companies including Dancers of Damelahamid at Kia Mau Festival in New Zealand and the International Cervantino Festival, at Jacob’s Pillow Festival, with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet at the National Arts Centre, and with the Atlantic Ballet Theatre of Canada. As a choreographer, Cameron has received commissions from the National Ballet of Canada, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, Fall for Dance Festival NYC, Ballet Kelowna, the Winnipeg Summer Dance Collective, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet Aspirants, Artist’s Climate Collective, Transformation Cabaret at the Cultch, and both PULSE and Indigenous Day Live! on APTN. He continues to practice and present Hoop Dance.

For the past six years, Mr. Fraser-Monroe has served as Artistic Director of the Winnipeg Summer Dance Collective, making dance more accessible in downtown Winnipeg. During the 24/25 Season, Cameron is the Associate Artist at Ballet Kelowna and the Artist-in-Residence at the National Theatre School of Canada.

Noelle Kayser (She/Her/Hers) is an award-winning choreographer, director, and multi-disciplinary performer based in Chicago.

She is the inaugural resident choreographer for Open Space, a 2024 Whim W’him Choreographic Shindig Recipient, and the 2025 BalletX Choreographic Fellow. Noelle has created work for companies including Dance Aspen, DanceWorks Chicago, MADCO, Visceral Dance Chicago, Lyric Opera, and SALT II among many others. She served as a guest Ballet Mistress at the Lyric Opera and was the founding rehearsal director and administrator for PARA.MAR Dance Theatre, named a 2022 Dance Magazine Top 25 to Watch.

In addition to her choreographic work, Noelle has performed works by Gustavo Ramírez Sansano, Ihsan Rustem, Wen Wei Wang, Danielle Agami, Robyn Mineko Williams, Kevin O’Day, and Alice Klock, among many others. She has had the privilege of dancing with companies such as NW Dance Project, LED Boise, Open Space Dance, and Visceral Dance Chicago. She has taught for organizations such as Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, the Goodman Theatre, and Visceral Dance Chicago. Noelle has narrated 16 audiobooks for Audible, appeared in advertising campaigns, and acted in stage productions at The Goodman Theatre, Chicago Shakespeare Theater, and The Alliance Theatre. Most recently, she won the 2024 Jeff Award for Best Ensemble for her performance as “Selene” in The Penelopiad at The Goodman Theatre, and starred in Anna Long’s short film Death in the Desert, which won Best Short Drama at the Breckenridge Film Festival.

Olivier Wevers (He/Him/His) from ballet training in his native Belgium, Olivier learned the beauty, passion, and discipline of the art. On coming to North America at age 19, he discovered the exhilaration of many new dance forms. As a principal dancer, first with Royal Winnipeg Ballet and later, for most of his dancing career, with Pacific Northwest Ballet, he acquired his strong conviction that dancers are the heart and soul of a company.

As such, they, and artists in general, must live at the very center of the process, their dignity, psychological and creative growth, and safety deemed just as essential as their technical accomplishments.

During his years of performing in classical and contemporary works by choreographers from around the world, Olivier also discovered the thrill of making dances and how imaginative story-telling and movement exploration connect to caring about individuality and physicality. Creating dances fed his perennial curiosity. It became “my way to express myself and, during the process, to be able to learn more about the human condition, start dialogues, touch people and share ideas, reflecting on our times and our humanity.” While still dancing with PNB and developing his own choreographic approach, Olivier became convinced that only by starting his own company could he create the works he envisioned in an artist-centered sanctuary where kindness, empathy, and collaboration are built into the very DNA. The result is Whim W’Him, with its yearly Choreographic Shindig for which the dancers choose the choreographers; emphasis on new works; transparent and candid leadership; ethical practices and equitable pay; commitment to diversity and social justice; and dedication to uncovering and nurturing new voices.
