“Witty and brilliant. Mark Morris’s tribute to Burt Bacharach is what the world needs now.”
—Washington Post
Mark Morris is back and with live music! His new work, The Look of Love, is a heartfelt homage to the unforgettable chart-topping songs of the late Burt Bacharach, a towering figure of popular music. Bacharach’s melodies and unique orchestrations soar with influences from jazz, to rock and Brazilian music, while his longtime lyricist Hal David provides unsentimental, often bittersweet, lyrics.
Mark Morris is truly one of the most important choreographic voices of our time. His original choreography and lush musical arrangements by Iverson in this evening-length showpiece delivers a powerful fusion of dance and music, captivating both audiences and critics alike. The stage comes alive with an exceptional ensemble of vocals, piano, trumpet, bass, and drums, creating an unforgettable auditory experience. Leading the charge with her remarkable voice is the extraordinary singer, actress, and Broadway star Marcy Harriell. We are thrilled to have Mark Morris Dance back with TITAS.

“The air was crackling with enthusiasm…The night was so fun. Tharp reminds us all that at its core, dance should always be just that.”
—Broadway World
Revolutionary choreographer Twyla Tharp returns to TITAS celebrating her 60th anniversary with a boundary-breaking program featuring a dynamic revival and two new pieces. Ocean’s Motion (1975) featuring music by rock and roll pioneer Chuck Berry, and Brel is an homage to the Belgian vocalist Jacques Brel. Composer Simeon ten Holt’s signature minimalist style in Bi-Ba-Bo intermingles with Vivaldi’s Baroque score in masterful new work The Ballet Master.
Jubilant, often comic, and stunningly precise and musical choreography, this evening of dance is a shining example of Tharp’s signature technical precision and wit. Unpredictable and dynamic, Tharp’s creations solidify her place as one of the great artists of our time. This groundbreaking evening is not one to be missed, and we are thrilled to have the legendary Twyla Tharp back at the Winspear Opera House.

more
Doug Varone is a master dance maker and creates dances like a master painter. The music comes to life as he paints the stage with movement. To My Arms / Restore is a two-part work embodying Varone’s fascination with the interplay between the deeply emotional and the immensely physical.
Set to a suite of exquisite arias by G. F. Handel, To My Arms builds a landscape of love and loss, evoking a strange otherworld of intimacy. In stark contrast, Restore feels as if it has been ripped out of today’s front pages, bringing a message of community, defiance, and resilience in a world recoiling and rebounding.
Driven by the 21st-century sound Handel Remixed, arranged by the London Festival Voices and composer Nico Bentley, the score fuses Handel’s 18th-century choral score Dixit Dominus with beats more commonly heard in clubs around the globe.
The work draws you in, surprises you, and takes you on a journey. These amazing dancers bring a “human-ness” to Varone’s choreography while his work revels in the subtle beauty and raw energy in everyday moments.
Varone is a master, and we are thrilled to have his company back in Dallas, especially with Live Music.
