Experience GLOW—our boldly compelling launch to Season 16 that unites three groundbreaking works from some of the most vital voices in contemporary dance. Be there for the world premiere of a dynamic new creation by Robert Battle, former Artistic Director of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Feel the tender grace of Concerto Six Twenty-Two by the legendary Lar Lubovitch. Be drawn into the haunting beauty of No Sea to Sail In  by founder Bruce Wood. Join us for an evening of dance that will light up both the stage and your heart. 

Be among the first to witness the world premiere of a bold new commission by Robert Battle. Known for his explosive movement vocabulary and daring choreographic voice, Battle’s newest creation is a visceral tour de force—crafted specifically for Bruce Wood Dance Dallas. 

Lar Lubovitch’s Concerto Six Twenty-Two is a masterwork of fluidity and connection. Celebrated for its iconic male duet and sweeping ensemble passages, the piece embodies love, humanity, and timeless elegance. Hailed as “one of the best ten choreographers in the world,” Lubovitch infuses every moment with exquisite physicality. The New York Times calls it “a work of profound compassion and quiet grandeur.”

Bruce Wood’s hauntingly lyrical No Sea To Sail In is a meditation on longing and resilience. Pulsing with emotional depth and choreographic clarity, Wood’s unmistakeable movement speaks straight to the soul.

GLOW  is a curated collision of physicality, story, and vision. It’s not just a performance—it’s an invitation to feel something real. 

Stick around post-show for Curtain Chats—an open conversation with the artists that invites you deeper into the work. 

Approximate run time: 90 minutes, including two intermissions.
