Experience Glow – a fiercely compelling evening of dance that lights up the stage and pushes the art form forward. This centerpiece of Season 16 brings together three groundbreaking works from some of the most vital voices in contemporary dance. 

Be among the first to witness the world premiere of a bold new commission by Robert Battle, former Artistic Director of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. 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, a masterwork of fluidity and connection, follows. With its iconic male duet and sweeping ensemble work, the piece radiates compassion and quiet power. Lubovitch, hailed as “one of the best ten choreographers in the world,” infuses the entire piece with warmth, humanity, and 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 opens the evening. A meditation on longing and resilience, it pulses with emotional depth and Wood’s unmistakable choreographic clarity: movement that 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.
