TITAS\/Dance Unbound\u2019s annual Command Performance and Gala used to be filled with classical ballet solos and duets. But the program has been evolving for years.<\/p>\n
The 2026 edition is down to a pair of pas de deux warhorses: the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet and \u201cBlack Swan\u201d from Swan Lake, to be performed by San Francisco Ballet principal dancer Sasha De Sola and guest artist Alban Lendorf.<\/p>\n
On the other end of the spectrum is the Melbourne-based Australian aerial troupe SWAY, which is sending performers Angelica Cassimiro and Daniel Lupo for the TITAS commissioned Discotheque and SWAY DJ Live.<\/p>\n
Also scheduled are dancers from a trio of modern groups in pieces from their companies\u2019 repertoire: MOMIX\u2019s Jason Williams (Table Talk) and Anthony Bocconi (Last Leaf Catches the First Snowfall), Bodytraffic\u2019s Joan Rodriguez and Katie Garc\u00eda (At Last, Flyland) and Complexions Contemporary Ballet\u2019s Joe Gonz\u00e1lez, Vincenzo Di Primo and Jillian Davis (Deeply) and April Watson with Gonz\u00e1lez (Ave Maria).<\/p>\n
Rounding out the program is Michael Jackson Jr., formerly of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, in Robert Battle\u2019s In\/Side and Ailey\u2019s Reflections in D.<\/p>\n
