360 Emergence Movement Meditation + Dance w. Sarah Sampson
2024-12-12 19:30 (America/New_York) | Sammons Center for the Arts, 3630 Harry Hines Blvd., Dallas, TX, 75219, United States
“For healing to take place,
for it to be felt,
for it to root,
remake,
and rearrange us,
it has to happen not only in the realm of our thinking,
but in the soil of our bodies.
Healing has to be embodied.” :: Prentis Hemphill
Designed for all levels, The 360 Emergence offers a guided movement map that is a journey of discovery, healing and actualization.
This is a sonic movement journey to weave the ever changing human into becoming accountable and fluid, leader-full and in-sight full.
Our time on the dance floor will be fertile ground for somatic discovery, exploration and a deepening of new and ancient modalities.
We practice embodied congruence as a pathway home.
Location | Sammons Center for the Arts

The 360 Emergence is an embodiment, free-form, spirit-driven movement practice motivated by an ethic of care and justice that bridges dance and personal growth, rigor and freedom, individuality and the global collective. We are evolutionary movement artists in service to the emergence of each person who shows up in our laboratories. We curate sonic movement journeys and containers that weave the ever changing human into becoming accountable and fluid, leader-full and in-sight full. We are heart activists animating our inside education of the ancient future.

Lyric Stage opens its 31st Season with this holiday classic by Stewart Ross! Presented at the Lyric Studios Space, with both general admission and reserved café tables. Share some holiday joy with your friends and family at Lyric Stage.
At first, Francis, Jinx, Smudge, and Sparky aren’t sure why they’ve returned to Earth for another posthumous performance, but a phone call from the heavenly Rosemary Clooney lets them know that they’re needed to put a little harmony into a discordant world. Sprinkled among the Christmas offerings are audience favorites, like their riotous three-minute-and-eleven-second version of The Ed Sullivan Show – this time, featuring the Rockettes, the Chipmunks, and The Vienna Boys Choir, as well as a Plaid Caribbean Christmas that puts the “Day-O” in Excelsis!
The production is rated G and is fun for the whole family!

As the half-blood son of a Greek god, Percy Jackson has newly-discovered powers he can’t control, a destiny he doesn’t want, and a mythology textbook’s worth of monsters on his trail. When Zeus’s master lightning bolt is stolen and Percy becomes the prime suspect, he has to find and return the bolt to prove his innocence and prevent a war between the gods.
Adapted from the best-selling book The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan and featuring a thrilling original rock score, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical is an action-packed mythical adventure “worthy of the gods” (Time Out New York).
Performances on January 9th, 10th, & 11th will be at 8 pm with the Box Office opening at 7 pm and performance on January 12th will be at 2:30 pm with the Box Office opening at 1:30 pm. All productions will take place at the Moody Performance Hall (2520 Flora St, Dallas, TX 75201).

There, we engage children and youth through the arts, providing them with the tools they need to navigate real life challenges confidently and competently.

About Basically Beethoven Hallam Concerts
The Basically Beethoven Hallam Concerts are a series of free chamber music concerts on Saturday afternoons at 3, at Central Commons, monthly from October—May (excluding December). Each concert features local professional performers who play in a wide range of ensembles.
The Basically Beethoven Hallam Concerts are generously sponsored by Fanchon and Howard Hallam. We are grateful to them as well as The City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture, TACA – The Arts Community Alliance, TCA – Texas Commission on the Arts and to people like YOU who give of their time and resources to make our concerts a reality.

This concert series began in 1984 as Bancroft Family Concerts through a partnership with the Dallas Museum of Art. The free admission and daytime time slot of the concerts were expressly chosen to support Basically Beethoven’s commitment to provide professional chamber music to those who would not traditionally be able to attend—particularly older adults and families with children. For nearly four decades, the concerts have consistently attracted full-capacity audiences. Musicians frequently include members of the Dallas and Fort Worth symphonies, the Dallas Opera orchestra, other professional ensembles, and faculty members from local universities such as Southern Methodist University and the University of North Texas.
​They are completely free of charge and open to all ages.
