Dear Patrons, SURPRISING | CAPTIVATING | GRATEFUL

These words speak to what sets TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND apart, and to the state we find ourselves in as we emerge from the Covid Fog. They speak to who we are and how we enter our new season.

Dance is such a distinct art form. Luminous, arduous, meaningful and inspiring. Time and time again, “I’m overwhelmed, this was not what I expected,” are the reactions I hear from first-time audiences, something our longtime subscribers have always known. Reaching our 40th anniversary affords TITAS the unique perspective of looking back and exploring the impact high quality, curatorial arts presentation has on a city and on a community. For 40 years, TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND has presented the most innovative, the most remarkable artists touring the world today. We look forward to another 40 years of innovation.

The 2022:23 season won’t disappoint. Bold, beguiling and breathtaking imagery makes this a very special set of internationally touring companies. We proudly present a season of ten extraordinary companies from the United States, Canada and South Africa. Five of these companies are making their debuts with TITAS.

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

All that remains of communities and civilizations, all that remains of their worth and dignity exists in the art they leave.

William Carlos Williams

Sincerely,

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