We’re just 2 days away, and I cannot believe…

You haven’t gotten your ticket yet!

@overthebridgeartsdtx is bringing multiple talents onto one stage, some works that have been on stage before and for some(like my own) it is the very first time it is hitting the stage ever! We want the room to be full to witness the amazing works that Dallas’ artists have to offer! If you’re in town with no plans for Friday or Saturday evening, add this to your schedule and be present for her-story☺️

Have more questions? Leave them here in the comments and I’d be happy to answer them! 💜

Before words, there was prayer. Before movement, there was dreams.

This journey has called me deep into the well of my ancestors and guides, pulling unseen stories into the light.

Every gesture, every breath, and every beat is an altar and I cannot wait to lay it all on the stage for the debut of Nana Baluku.

Come witness the invocation.

Visit Plaza of the Americas to witness Joaquin Soto’s solo show, “Beauty From the Discarded” on view from October 12 - December 18. We’ll have a reception on October 30 from 4pm-6pm in our Artspace of the Americas gallery located on the Lobby floor of the POTA. 📍600 N Pearl St Dallas, TX

From the artist:
“Disconnection is the feeling that I’ve felt most of my life. Growing up, I never had a good sense of belonging to any one culture, place, identity, or group. As an immigrant, I’ve always had the feeling that I was inhabiting multiple worlds, while never calling one home.

This feeling has transferred over into my artwork, in my eternal journey of always giving something a home or purpose. My works are created from multiple materials, pieces, and repurposed items. Many of these materials are sometimes overlooked and discarded, as they have served their initial purpose. I feel I have a sense of purpose of giving an item a new light, and history. This can be in part due to my past experiences of searching connectivity and wanting to belong and not be under-appreciated.”

We are thrilled to be partnering with @agoraartists to bring Holding Up The Void to @artsmissionoakcliff and the Dallas arts community October 8–10, 2026!

Ticket link in Bio

The Void is the place where we do the gritty work of growing older.

This multilingual performance uses the physical languages of dance and American Sign Language (ASL) interchangeably to guide the audience through one version of that aging process. Set in an analog, womb-like landscape, dancers work in cycles as they grapple with each other and all versions of themselves: the remembered, the hoped-for, and their imperfect present forms. Performers manipulate various tape machines, including a reel-to-reel eight-track, which record, rewind, replay, and transform their interactions. The cycles are punctuated by the audience, who change their seats at the performers’ signal throughout. Each move is a reminder to keep shifting our perspective to join the performers in holding up the Void.

ARCOS investigates the blend of ASL and dance as complementary physical languages, inspired by Alice Sheppard’s challenge to consider accessibility as aesthetic. Dance is a highly subjective art form in which each audience member takes away their own interpretation. Similarly, ASL is a gestural language that is not a word-for-word translation of English, and a sign can take on many meanings depending on its context and the expression, energy, and emotion of the signer. In the performance, ASL sometimes provides direct interpretation of sonic elements for Deaf or hard-of-hearing viewers, and other times a poetic response or preface to what the dancers are engaged in: a layer of meaning legible in full only to those who sign, but which, much like dance, can be felt by all.
