Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company

Advertisement

The Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company was born in 1982 out of an 11-year collaboration between Bill T. Jones and Arnie Zane (1948–1988). During this time, they redefined the duet form and foreshadowed issues of identity, form and social commentary that would change the face of American dance. The repertory of the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company is widely varied in its subject matter, visual imagery and stylistic approach to movement, voice and stagecraft and includes musically-driven works as well as works using a variety of texts. The company has performed worldwide in over 200 cities in 40 countries on every major continent and is recognized as one of the most innovative and powerful forces in the dance-theater world.

The company excels in community outreach and education, collaborating with U.S. university dance programs to reconstruct notable works for students. It offers intensive workshops for dancers and hosts discussion events to engage with ideas. The company will perform two classic pieces: “Continuous Replay,” originally choreographed by Zane in 1977 as “Hand Dance” and revised by Jones in 1991, featuring Kansas State University Dance Program students, and “D-Man in the Waters,” a vibrant Bill T. Jones work from 1989, closing the evening.
