Urban Dreaming is an immersive movement opera that transcends traditional storytelling, drawing its audience into a visceral journey through our shared human experiences, the constraints that bind us, and the timeless pulse that unites all living beings. Set against a backdrop of Austin’s urban landscape, this opera fuses contemporary and aerial dance with music to explore the confinement of the human spirit, through walls both physical and invisible. It unearths personal memories and collective trauma, transforming them into movement. At its core, Urban Dreaming is about connection - how, despite the barriers of time, identity, and circumstance, we remain linked by an invisible thread of universal energy. Through this opera, we invite audiences to remember, to feel, and ultimately to dream together. THANK YOU TO OUR HOSTS! We'd like to shout out our incredible building hosts, the RBJ Residential Buildings! RBJ Senior Housing is an Austin-based nonprofit that has provided affordable housing to older adults for 57 years. Nestled along a scenic stretch of Lady Bird Lake, its flagship location is named in honor of President Lyndon Johnson’s mother, Rebekah Baines Johnson. In partnership with Blue Lapis Light, RBJ Senior Housing is celebrating the re-opening of its campus following a decade-long transformation which includes the renovation of the iconic 16-story tower, now renamed The Rebekah, and the addition of a new apartment building, The Lady Bird. This project reflects RBJ’s enduring commitment to provide affordable housing for older adults and to uphold the legacy of President Johnson, who originally envisioned this community. Learn More!
