BILL T. JONES/ARNIE ZANE DANCE COMPANY The Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company is currently celebrating its 25th Anniversary season. The Company was founded after 11 years of collaboration during which Bill T. Jones and Arnie Zane (1948 - 1988) redefined the duet form and foreshadowed issues of identity, form and social commentary that would change the face of American dance. The company will perform Serenade/The Proposition, a lively, colorful rumination on the nature of history, and the first work in Jones’ choreography celebrating Abraham Lincoln. Video projections fill an iconic set of movable columns that evoke the architecture of history: the White House, the Parthenon, or the ballroom of an elegant plantation parlor. The spare staging is filled by a cast of fierce dancers in beautifully deconstructed costumes performing flowing movement that assembles into moments of still portrait-like postcards from the past. The original score draws from Mozart’s Requiem, Battle Hymn of the Republic and Dixie to create a contemporary, playful musical collage for cello, piano and soprano. Bill T. Jones, a MacArthur “Genius” Award Recipient, is considered one of the world’s most important and influential choreographers. Always thought provoking, this evening promises to be a highlight of the TITAS season. Click here to purchase tickets
