March 8 Grupo Corpo
Passion lives in the Brazilian DNA. The parties, the food, the futbol— and, of course, the dance—are all lived with unbridled exuberance and undeniable energy. For more than 35 years, Grupo Corpo has chan- neled the Brazilian spirit, using it as a sort of mantra that inspires their passionate, cultured and memorable dance works. With their own unique language of movement, Grupo Corpo captures the soft, sinu- ous form of ballet—stoked by the fiery influence of Latin American dance—and creates a smoldering, sensual experience unlike any other. The company’s physical virtuosity—with inexhaustible dancers moving to relentless rhythms—is matched only by their highly conceptual sto- rytelling. The result is something innovative, exciting and altogether authentic. Grupo Corpo is presented by TITAS. March 8, 2013 at 8:00 pm at the Winspear Opera House, 2403 Flora Street, Dallas, TX 75201. $12-$200. (214) 880-0202.
