The Dreamweavers Disco is a safe haven for you to express your most inspired existence. Tap into your heart space. Connect with your body. Explore the senses. Come dance and drop in.
About the Dream Blessings & Activations via Dreamweavers’ Disco:
At this event there will be an altar space for everyone to spend time with as they choose. It is a place for stillness, exploration, play, and dreaming.
“Our favorite piece on the altar is the dream box. This is present at every Dreamweavers’ Disco to collect each and every one of your dreams. At the altar you have the opportunity to write down your dreams, place them in the altar box, and allow us to carry them to the next city to be blessed by the next group of Dreamweavers. At the start of our Dreamweavers’ Disco, we will take a moment during the meditation to bless the dreams of those that dreamed and danced with us at the previous event in. Then, your dreams will be blessed at the next event.”
With this practice, together, we are weaving a collective web of dreams and blessings. We are all connected, we are all one. When one of our dreams becomes a reality, all of our dreams come true.
What is Ecstatic Dance?
We create a space that is inspiring and uplifting; without talking, alcohol or the nightclub scene. We encourage participants to utilize the Ecstatic Dance space as an invitation for their magical mysterious nature, soulful somatic movement, creative self-expression, and heart-centered connection to self, life and others.

Bruce Wood Dance Dallas presents Touch
Join Bruce Wood Dance Dallas as the company celebrates its 15th Anniversary Season of dance excellence with Touch — November 15+16 at 8:00 PM and November 17 at 2:00 PM at Moody Performance Hall. Experience Touch, featuring three captivating and emotionally powerful dance performances. As we celebrate this milestone year, the company performs the Dallas Premiere of Lieder Eines Fahrenden Gesellen (Songs of a Wayfarer)  by world-renowned choreographer and former artistic director of Nederlands Dans Theater, Jiří Kylián; the glorious Dvořák Serenade by legendary American choreographer Lar Lubovitch; and the return of Bruce Wood’s riveting audience favorite, RED.
Immerse yourself in romance in the Dallas premiere of Jiří Kylián’s Songs of a Wayfarer. Considered one of his most iconic works, Songs of a Wayfarer is set to a score by Gustav Mahler and features five duets that explore themes of love, tenderness, and the sorrows of separation. Kylian is an internationally acclaimed choreographer whose work has been performed by major dance companies around the world, including Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Nederlands Dans Theater, American Ballet Theatre, and Paris Opera Ballet. His numerous awards include the Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur from the Académie des Beaux Arts, Paris; Sir Laurence Olivier Award, the Nijinsky Award from the Monaco Dance Forum, among others.
Dvořák Serenade by Lar Lubovitch, delivers joy, beauty, and his signature rich and layered choreography. Lar Lubovitch has been named “one of the ten best choreographers in the world” by The New York Times, which describes his work as “lushly romantic” and “shamelessly beautiful.” This masterpiece has been described as “one of Lubovitch’s big, sweeping ensemble works, the sort he does best” by The New York Times.
Experience the heart-pounding journey into human fortitude with Bruce Wood’s unforgettable RED. Premiering at Fort Worth’s Bass Hall in 2001, RED tops the list of Wood’s most esteemed and iconic works. Completed just days before September 11, 2001, viewers of its debut drew an immediate correlation between the themes presented in RED and the state of our nation in the days following those tragic events.

Join us for the post-performance Curtain Chat, where you can engage with the artists and share your insights on this riveting experience.

Fauré Quartett

“This quartet thinks and breathes as one, focused on a singular, clear vision for their music making.” Toronto Star
Our second concert welcomes back the dynamic Fauré Quartett.
—————————————————–
FAURÉ QUARTETT
Dirk Mommertz, piano
Erika Geldsetzer, violin
Sascha Frömbling, viola
Konstantin Heidrich, cello
—————————————————–
PROGRAM
Franz Schubert: Adagio & Rondo Concertante in F Major, D.487
George Enescu: Piano Quartet No. 1 in D Major, Op.16
Johannes Brahms: Piano Quartet No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 25
—————————————————–
The requirements have changed. Whoever is playing chamber music today can’t be limited to the rules from decades ago. The expectations regarding the diversity of repertoire have changed, which creates room for ensembles like the Faure Quartett, which has established itself as one of the world’s leading piano quartets within just a few years. Dirk Mommertz (piano), Erika Geldsetzer (violin), Sascha Frömbling (viola) and Konstantin Heidrich (cello) use the opportunities arising from these developments. They discover new sound fields in chamber music and perform compositions outside the mainstream repertoire.
They are visionary in their approach and highly regarded for their experiments and discoveries; be it performances with the NDR Big Band, collaborations with artists like Rufus Wainwright or Sven Helbig, appearances in clubs like the Berghain, Cocoon Club or “Le Poisson Rouge” in New York or TV shows in KIKA or “Rhapsody in School”, getting children excited in chamber music. When they released their album “Popsongs” in 2009, there was a great deal of buzz in the press and audience. In the following year, the ensemble was awarded the ECHO Classic for their album “classic beyond borders”, their second award after their recording of Brahms’ piano quartets (Chamber Music recording of the year, 2008). Other prizes include the German Music Competition, the ensemble prize from Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, international competition and recording awards, Music Prize Duisburg and Brahms prize Schleswig Holstein.
The musicians of the Faure Quartett are pioneers in many ways. After they met during their studies in 1995 in Karlsruhe for the 150th anniversary of Gabriel Faure, they quickly realized, that this combination offered new insights into undiscovered repertoire. In 2006, they signed a contract with Deutsche Grammophon, promoting them to the Champions League of the classic music business. They made highly regarded benchmark-recordings with works by Mozart, Brahms, Mendelssohn and pop songs from Peter Gabriel and Steely Dan as well as works from Mahler and Richard Strauss (Sony Classical). on one album. Currently the quartett is releasing the world’s first-ever recording of Mussorgskys “Pictures at an Exhibition” and Rachmaninovs “Etudes-Tableaux” in their own arrangements on the Berlin Classics label. Worldwide tours raise their profile abroad and international masterclasses are part of their work with students. The members teach at the universities of Berlin and Munich. Moreover, they were Artistic Directors of “Festspielfrühling Rügen” and are ‘Quartet in Residence’ at the University of Music Karlsruhe. During their tours, the musicians appear in the world’s most important chamber music venues; including Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Alte Oper Frankfurt, Berlin Philharmony, Teatro Colon Buenos Aires and Wigmore Hall London. All these mosaics form a unique profile for this defining chamber music ensemble.

REGIONAL PREMIERE
Composed by Michael Gordon
Directed by Sam Brukhman
Travel Guide to Nicaragua by acclaimed composer Michael Gordon is a deeply personal and reflective work that unravels the hidden layers of his family’s Jewish heritage. After the passing of his grandmother, a Holocaust survivor, Gordon uncovers the complex history of his family’s journey across continents. This composition weaves fragmented memories and unspoken truths, offering a poignant meditation on identity, memory, and legacy.
Gordon’s work blends Jewish and Nicaraguan musical influences to create a unique soundscape that invites listeners to engage with the silences and stories that shape our understanding of the past. Praised by The New York Times for his ability to reveal “unspoken truths,” Travel Guide to Nicaragua challenges audiences to reflect on the lasting impact of heritage, migration, and survival.
This profound exploration of personal history serves as both a tribute to Gordon’s family and an invitation for audiences to contemplate the untold stories within their own lives.
