TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND Virtual Salon: Conversation with Leading Dance Presenters


Virtual Event - Dallas County

Join TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND on Thursday, September 17 at 5pm CST for a live online discussion with leading dance presenters in the US. Panelists are Linda Shelton, Executive Director The Joyce Theater, New York City; Pam Tatge, Executive Director and Artistic Director Jacob’s Pillow, Becket, MA; and Paul King, Co-Founder of White Bird, Portland, OR, moderated by TITAS’s Executive/Artistic Director Charles Santos. This highly anticipated discussion will explore the unique business of dance presenting, the challenges of COVID-19, and the creative solutions these leading dance institutions have found to restart the touring dance engine in this country and to keep the arts thriving in their communities.

TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND is a dance only presenter and a catalyst for cultural collaborations. Our Virtual Santos Salon series is designed to bring our arts community together during this difficult time and to create meaningful conversations. It’s essential for artists to come together, support each other, and have these conversations so we can ensure that all voices are heard, now and in the future.
