Join us for a free, informal presentation series featuring UT Dallas Arts and Humanities faculty and special guests as they perform and discuss their craft.

SabaDancers represents the creative efforts of UT Dallas faculty member, Micki Saba, as a professional independent artist. Her work includes both traditional comtemporary choreography along with multi-media, theatrically driven performance. A question and answer session will follow the performance.

The idea for "I’m Not Invisible" found it’s origins and inspiration from Mattie Stepanek a young boy that was born with a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy. Despite his physical challenges, Mattie was able to celebrate and find virtue in life.  He was a peace maker, a poet, and an inspiration to many.  The program was born from the desire to provide a program for children with many different types of special needs.  Targeted for audiences with long term illness, physical disability, and learning differences, the show is meant to both entertain and provide an outlet to express feelings resulting from such challenges.  Through a journey of poetry, music, and movement, "I’m Not Invisible" presents a glimpse of the reality, hope, triumph, and success that any child will face when experiencing the challenges that life presents.



Please Note: Guests are advised to visit our campus disruption log for updated route, construction, and parking information.
