June 9, 202211 AM Central

With a lineup of fifteen events curated by Executive and Artistic Director Bob Bursey, Texas Performing Arts’ new season is reflective of Austin’s expanding role as a global site of innovation and creation, building on our legacy as one of the most significant university arts centers in the country.

Collectively, these events represent the bold vitality of a broad range of contemporary artists and their practices, including numerous premieres and debuts, an emphasis on new work, support for Austin-based artists, myriad cross-disciplinary collaborations and a throughline of amplifying voices of artists of color.

Highlights of the new season include:

A bold return to presenting international artists, with representation from nine countries.
A strong commitment to large-scale dance work, with visits from four major companies.
Continuing the Texas Performing Arts artist-in-residence program created during the pandemic, with support for three artists of international renown based in the Austin area.
A new series of creative performance for young audiences and families.

“This season we want to share the best in new performance from around the world,” said Texas Performing Arts Executive and Artistic Director Bob Bursey. “At the same time, we want to give a platform to leading artists who are based in Austin, reflecting the unique interplay of global perspectives and local creativity that is Austin.”
