Opening Ceremonies
We are ringing in the Opening Ceremonies Today at 8PM with Taikodelic! Taikodelic is a wholly American exploration of the Japanese style of drumming called Taiko. The group consists of performers from many backgrounds, musical and theatrical, and melds the influences within a traditional framework to express & manifest a playful sense of the power of community. If you want to find out more about playing Taiko check out the
Taikodelic Panel Sunday at 9AM in P4.
Cosplay @ the Majestic
This Sunday at 7:30pm we will hold the classiest of cosplay contests in the historic Majestic Theater! The Majestic is an iconic Dallas landmark, a 1,700 seat theatre billed as "one of the most elegant performing arts venues in the southwest".
The Strut Your Stuff, Cosplay Runway and Cosplay Contest shows will all run on the Majestic’s stage. Participants will put on short skits, and show off costumes of their favorite characters on this classic stage. At the end of the evening, the Judges will make their selections and award prizes for performance and craftsmanship!
