TITAS Gets High Praise From The Dallas Morning News

TITAS recently received high accolades from The Dallas Morning News, earning TWO of the Top Ten Dance Events for 2006, and a place in the Top Ten Concerts of 2006. LYON OPERA BALLET'S Dallas debut performances earned Margaret Putnam's TOP SPOT for the year, and another debut, RICHARD ALSTON DANCE COMPANY, was number eight. These results show that even while continuing to take risks in presenting new and cutting edge companies, TITAS continues to deliver top notch entertainment to the Dallas area.

Margaret Putnam's comments:

1. Lyon Opera Ballet Three female choreographers brought farce, fantasy and form to a program that showed the company's secure range of styles. Most memorable was Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's Die Grosse Fuge, meeting Beethoven's contrapuntal composition with daring assurance.

8. Richard Alston Dance Between the pools of light, haunting score and movement that made simples steps an evocative statement, this London based company seems to breathe in music and turn it into a shimmering world.

TITAS also presented one of The Dallas Morning News' Top Ten Concerts of the year - ACOUSTIC AFRICA. This wonderful combination of Vusi Mahlasela, Dobet Gnahore and Habib Koite was number nine in Thor Christensen's 2006 wrap-up.

Here's to a wonderful 2007!
