A performing arts milestone event that has been years in the making will finally hit a Dallas stage this fall. Legendary choreographer Twyla Tharp is celebrating her 50th anniversary in the dance profession in 2015, and Dallasites will get the first chance to see her latest creation when her Fiftieth Anniversary Tour launches at Winspear Opera House in the AT&T Performing Arts Center on September 18 and 19.

The event is being co-commissioned by TITAS Presents, the organization that has been bringing national arts groups to Dallas for more than 30 years. Tharp’s work also will mark the beginning of TITAS Presents’ 2015-2016 season.

This will be the first time since 2002 that Twyla Tharp has toured with a group of dancers.

To make it happen, TITAS joined forces with the Joyce Theater in New York City and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., who initiated the commissioning, as well as the Ravinia Festival Association/Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University in Chicago and the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills.

The world premiere of the Fiftieth Anniversary Tour, which honors Tharp’s five decades of choreographing for stage, TV and film, will start in Dallas before heading out to at least 15 North American cities over 10 weeks. It will be the first time since 2002 that Tharp has toured with a group of dancers.

Tharp has done more than 160 works across a variety of media, for which she has been honored with a Tony Award, two Emmy Awards, a National Medal of the Arts, a Kennedy Center Honor and many others.

“This commissioning project has been years in the making,” said Charles Santos, executive and artistic director of TITAS Presents, in a release. “The national partnership and commissioning of an artist as important as Twyla Tharp, with the world premiere taking place here in Dallas, is enormously important for the missions of TITAS Presents, the AT&T Performing Arts Center and our city.”

Tickets for Tharp’s Fiftieth Anniversary Tour will go on sale closer to the performance dates. To stay up-to-date, go to attpac.org/on-sale/2015/twyla-tharp-dance/.

Miranda Lambert's 'Velvet Rodeo' wardrobe stars in new DFW exhibition

“Miranda Lambert: Velvet Rodeo” will open on November 7 at the National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame.

Country star Miranda Lambert is bringing a bit of Las Vegas glamour and bling to North Texas. Her one-of-a-kind wardrobe from her "Velvet Rodeo" residency will go on display at the National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame in Fort Worth when its new Icons Gallery opens November 7.

According to a release, the exhibition, called "Miranda Lambert: Velvet Rodeo," was created in collaboration with Lambert, and will feature costumes from the singer's Las Vegas residency, which ran from September 2022 to April 2024.

Lambert said her inspiration came from an earlier visit to the Fort Worth museum, where she spotted historic Western pieces that she photographed and sent to her stylist, Tiffany Gifford. They combined those influences with the glitz of Elvis Presley's heyday to create the "Velvet Rodeo" wardrobe.

“Seeing these pieces now have a life beyond the stage as part of the Museum’s new Icons Gallery feels really full circle and special,” Lambert said in a statement.

Visitors will now have the opportunity to study garments usually seen in motion and under stage lights, appreciating the details that help transform clothing into an essential part of a performance.

The Icons Gallery is part of the Museum’s 16,000-square-foot expansion, which introduces new galleries and experiences that explore the accomplishments and influence of women of the West. The $19 million expansion features a new entrance facing Dickies Arena, new galleries including a photography gallery, an event space accommodating up to 250, and the new Cowgirl Carousel.

Lambert, who was inducted into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame in 2021, is an active mounted shooting competitor and horsewoman, giving her a connection to the West that reaches beyond her music. "Velvet Rodeo" brings together Lambert's identity as a cowgirl and her creative expression as a performer.

“Miranda’s confidence, determination and independence make her a wonderful representative of the women we honor,” says Pat Riley, executive director of the National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame, in the release. “Opening our Icons Gallery with this collaboration celebrates her accomplishments while giving visitors a new way to connect with a cowgirl they know and admire.”

According to a museum spokesperson, the temporary exhibition will remain on display for at least one year; no specific end date was given.

In preparation for the expansion grand opening, the Cowgirl will be closed to the public beginning October 19 and will reopen November 7, with a members-only preview at 10 am and a public opening at noon.
