    The new season of TITAS Presents will feature 10 dance companies from the United States and China, four of which are making their Dallas debuts.

    Themed "Diverse, Captivating, and Groundbreaking," the 2018-19 season, presented at AT&T Performing Arts Center, will spotlight some of the world's most innovative, athletic, and awe-inspiring dancers touring today.

    The season starts with the choreographer behind NBC's recent highly acclaimed Jesus Christ Superstar Live, Camille A. Brown, making her Dallas premiere.

    Also fresh off TV fame is Diavolo, the acrobatic dance company that had a successful 2017 run on America's Got Talent.

    Another season highlight is sure to be an intimate performance by the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, accompanied by pianist Joyce Yang, silver medalist of the 2005 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.

    Here's a look at the full season, with descriptions from TITAS Presents:

    Camille A. Brown & Dancers (Debut)
    August 24-25, 2018 (2 shows)
    Moody Performance Hall

    The choreographer of Broadway’s Once on This Island and NBC’s Jesus Christ Superstar, Camille A. Brown’s choreography is rich, textured and soulful. Embodying a strong sense of storytelling, the company uses theatricality and the aesthetics of modern, hip hop, African, ballet, and tap to tell stories that connect history with contemporary culture. Camille A. Brown leads her dancers through excavations of ancestral stories, both timeless and traditional.

    Diavolo
    September 14-15, 2018 (2 shows)
    Moody Performance Hall

    Diavalo: Architecture in Motion is an audacious and innovative company led by an equally audacious artistic director, Jacques Heim. They return to Dallas with Voyage, an evening of excerpts that demonstrate the trajectory of Diavalo. Coming off their success on America’s Got Talent, Diavalo's large interactive sets and stunning athletics are always a TITAS Presents favorite.

    Stephen Petronio Company (Debut)
    October 19-20, 2018 (2 shows)
    Moody Performance Hall

    Stephen Petronio is widely regarded as one of the leading dance-makers of his generation, as he makes music, visual arts, and fashion collide in dazzling scenes. Petronio has worked with some of the most provocative composers, visual artists, and fashion designers in the world — including Rufus Wainwright, Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson, Michael Nyman, and Cindy Sherman. With an evening that pushes visual and technical boundaries, the spellbinding choreography, and distinctive style blurs the lines between performance and art.

    Aspen Santa Fe Ballet: An Evening with Pianist Joyce Yang
    October 26-27, 2018 (2 shows)
    Moody Performance Hall

    Aspen Santa Fe Ballet’s successful collaboration with acclaimed pianist Joyce Yang spawned the development of an entire program performed to live accompaniment. This curated evening features Jiří Kylián’s poetic Return to a Strange Land (danced en pointe), Nicolo Fonte’s exhilarating Where We Left Off, and a new commission, Half/Cut/Split, by Boston Ballet’s choreographer-in-residence, Jorma Elo.

    Complexions Contemporary Ballet
    November 9-10, 2018
    Moody Performance Hall

    The agile and diverse dancers of Complexions Contemporary Ballet remind audiences of how dance connects them with the world. Complexions comes back to Dallas with an evening of inventive, intriguing choreography, stunning dancers and Rhoden’s new hot and raw finale tribute to David Bowie, Star Dust. This bold, gender-bending extravaganza has been thrilling audiences across the globe.

    Dorrance Dance (Debut)
    February 1, 2019
    Winspear Opera House

    Founded in 2011 by Michelle Dorrance, Dorrance Dance is an award-winning tap dance company in New York City. The company’s work aims to honor tap dance’s uniquely American history in a new, dynamic, and compelling context; not by stripping the form of its tradition, but by pushing it — rhythmically, technically, and conceptually. The company’s inaugural performance garnered a Bessie Award for “blasting open our notions of tap.”

    China’s Beijing Dance Theater (Debut)
    February 8, 2019
    Winspear Opera House

    Beijing Dance Theater, one of China’s most distinguished dance companies, makes its Dallas debut. In 2006, Feng Xiogang invited Wang Yuanyuan to work on his film The Banquet, based on Shakespeare’s Hamlet. This inspired Wang to create a ballet telling the story of Hamlet through the eyes of the melancholy prince, who struggles with power, family, revenge and love. The work is stunningly choreographed, features brilliant sets and dancers, and is set to music written by renowned composer Tan Dun.

    Kyle Abraham/Abraham.In.Motion
    March 1-2, 2019 (2 shows)
    Moody Performance Hall

    Urban funk meets modern dance, that’s Abraham.In.Motion. MacArthur “Genius” Award recipient Kyle Abraham has forged a meteoric rise to stardom for his unique and compelling choreography. His dancers move with truth, earthiness and an elegance that is unique to Abraham’s choreographic genius. Absolutely accessible and immediately sophisticated, Abraham.In.Motion is a return engagement to Dallas.

    Ezralow Dance (Debut)
    March 29-30, 2019 (2 shows)
    Moody Performance Hall

    Ezralow Dance is the creative home of the surprising and inventive Daniel Ezralow. It is known for its explosive physicality, originality, and humor. Open is a joyful series of vignettes, woven together into a narrative with hilarious physicality to uplift and inspire through the language of contemporary dance.

    Pilobolus
    April 5-6, 2019 (2 shows)
    Moody Performance Hall

    In 2009, Pilobolus created Shadowland, the first show of its kind, which has been performed in 32 countries, for over a million people, including Dallas. Now, Pilobolus is proud to present an all new shadow adventure, Shadowland: The New Adventure. Pilobolus uses its trademark “shadow dancing” and inventive storytelling to tell a love story about two people and their quest to save a magical bird. With animation, video, and live shadow theater, this madcap adventure dips its toe into science fiction, film noir, and romantic comedy.

    Command Performance
    June 1, 2019
    Winspear Opera House

    Command Performance always delivers one of the most exciting performances of the year. Artists from leading companies light up the stage with spectacular, surprising performances.

    Dallas Theater Center names Jaime Castañeda as new artistic director

    Jaime Castañeda is the Tony-winning theater's new artistic director.

    The Tony Award-winning Dallas Theater Center has found its next artistic director: Jaime Castañeda, who has a long history with both DTC and North Texas, will become the regional theater's sixth artistic director beginning July 2026. The 2026-27 season will be the first chosen by him.

    Jonathan Norton, DTC’s resident playwright, is currently serving as interim artistic director and will continue to lead the remainder of the 2025-26 season, which culminates in the world premiere of his play Malcolm X and Redd Foxx Washing Dishes at Jimmy’s Chicken Shack in Harlem in May.

    “DTC is committed to artistic excellence and community engagement, and we believe Jaime’s experience, creativity, bold vision, and proven leadership, coupled with his dedication to innovation, will guide DTC into an exciting new chapter in the life of the theater," says board chair Lynn Pride Richardson in a release.

    In 2012, Castañeda directed DTC’s production of The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity by Kristoffer Diaz. But he began his career more than 20 years ago in Dallas-Fort Worth by founding Firestarter Productions while still attending Texas Christian University. In addition to directing at DTC, other local theater credits include Kitchen Dog Theater, Amphibian Stage, and Circle Theatre. Castañeda is a recipient of the Princess Grace Award, the Drama League Directing Fellowship, and holds a BFA from Texas Christian University and an MFA in Directing from University of Texas at Austin.

    Most recently, Castañeda directed at such leading theaters across the country as American Conservatory Theater, South Coast Repertory, Huntington Theatre Company, and La Jolla Playhouse, where he previously served as associate artistic director from 2014-2018. He was also artistic associate at Off-Broadway's Atlantic Theater Company from 2009-2014.

    "Jaime brings a bold, visceral artistic vision, a deep commitment to new voices, and a collaborative leadership style that inspires artists and audiences alike,” says DTC executive director Kevin Moriarty. “With his Texas roots and national experience, I am thrilled to welcome him home as DTC’s new Enloe/Rose artistic director. I have known and admired his work since 2007, when he was already one of the most exciting emerging directors in North Texas, and I later saw him create unforgettable work for DTC on the Wyly stage and at leading theaters nationwide.”

    As artistic director, Castañeda will lead the theater’s artistic vision, direct and produce plays and musicals, oversee DTC’s Diane and Hal Brierley Resident Acting Company, and partner with Moriarty, the staff, and the board of trustees to advance DTC’s mission, vision, and values.

    Castañeda joins a distinguished line of artistic leadership at Dallas Theater Center, including founding artistic director Paul Baker, Adrian Hall, Ken Bryant, Richard Hamburger, and Moriarty, who served as artistic director from 2007-2022.

    “We are extremely pleased with a successful national search that brings Jaime to Dallas Theater Center,” says DTC board member Chris Luna. “His energy is contagious and he understands Texas and Dallas. We look forward to collaborating with Jaime as he continues his innovative approach to regional theater.”

    Castañeda was selected for the role following a national search led by Management Consultants for the Arts. The search committee was co-chaired by Luna and Richardson, and included Moriarty, Norton, Jennifer Altabef, Diane Brierley, Lauren Embrey, Sam Holland (Dean, SMU Meadows School of the Arts), Sharron Hunt, Randy Kender, Julie Kosnik, Deborah McMurray, Sam Megally, Liz Mikel (DTC Brierley Resident Acting Company member), Andy Smith, Lily Weiss (executive director, Dallas Arts District) and Donna Wilhelm.

    “Growing up in Texas, Dallas Theater Center was one of the first places where I saw what professional theater and excellence looked like,” Castañeda says. “I’m thrilled to come back and build on the history of artists and leaders who have been a part of this organization. I’m eager to join Kevin, the board, and our staff to create lasting theatrical experiences for our audiences.”

    Dallas Theater Center's current production of A Christmas Carol runs through December 27 at the Wyly Theatre.
