The reconstruction was conducted in residence at Bard College and the University of Virginia.

COMPANY HISTORY 

Now in its 29th year, the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company was born 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 Company emerged onto the international scene in 1983 with the world 

premiere of Intuitive Momentum, which featured legendary drummer Max Roach, at the Brooklyn 

Academy of Music. Since then, the 10-member Company has performed worldwide in over 200 

cities in 30 countries on every major continent. Today, the Company is recognized as one of the most 

innovative and powerful forces in the modern dance world. 

The repertory of the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance 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 been acknowledged for its intensely 

collaborative method of creation that has included artists as diverse as Keith Haring, Cassandra Wilson, 

The Orion String Quartet, the Chamber Society of Lincoln Center, Fred Hersch, Jenny Holzer, Robert 

Longo, Julius Hemphill, and Daniel Bernard Roumain, among others. The collaborations of the Bill T. 

Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company with visual artists were the subject of Art Performs Life (1998), a 

groundbreaking exhibition at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, MN. 

Some of its most celebrated creations are evening length works including Last Supper at Uncle Tom’s 

Cabin/The Promised Land (1990, Next Wave Festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music); Still/Here 

(1994, Biennale de la Danse in Lyon, France); We Set Out Early… Visibility Was Poor (1996, Hancher 

Auditorium,Iowa City, IA); You Walk? (2000, European Capital of Culture 2000,Bolgna, Italy); Blind 

Date (2006, Peak Performances at Montclair State University); Chapel/Chapter (2006, Harlem Stage 

Gatehouse); and Fondly Do We Hope… Fervently Do We Pray (2009, Ravinia Festival, Highland Park, IL). 

The ongoing, site-specific, Another Evening was last performed in its seventh incarnation as Another 

Evening: Venice/Arsenale (2010, La Biennale di Venezia). 

The Company has also produced two evenings centered on Bill T. Jones’s solo performance: 

The Breathing Show (1999, Hancher Auditorium, Iowa City, IA), and As I Was Saying… (2005, Walker 

Art Center, Minneapolis, MN). 

The Company has been featured in many publications, and one of the most in-depth examinations of 

Bill T. Jones and Arnie Zane’s collaborations can be found in Body Against Body: The Dance and Other 

Collaborations of Bill T. Jones and Arnie Zane (1989 - Station Hill Press) edited by Elizabeth Zimmer. 

The Company has received numerous awards, including New York Dance and Performance Awards 

(“Bessie”) for Chapel/Chapter at Harlem Stage (2006), The Table Project (2001), D-Man in the Waters 

(1989 and 2001), musical scoring and costume design for Last Supper at Uncle Tom’s Cabin/The 

Promised Land (1990), and for the groundbreaking Joyce Theater season (1986). The Company was 

nominated for the 1999 Laurence Olivier Award for “Outstanding Achievement in Dance and Best 

New Dance Production” for We Set Out Early… Visibility was Poor. 

The Company celebrated its landmark 20th anniversary at the Brooklyn Academy of Music with 37 

guest artists including Susan Sarandon, Cassandra Wilson and Vernon Reid. The Phantom Project: The 

20th Season presented a diverse repertoire of over 15 revivals and new works. 

During the Company’s 25th anniversary season in 2007, Ravinia Festival in Highland Park, IL offered 

the Company its most significant commission to date: to create a work to honor the bicentennial of 

Abraham Lincoln’s birth. The Company created three new productions in response: 100 Migrations 

(2008), a site-specific community performance project; Serenade/The Proposition (2008), examining 

the nature of history; and Fondly Do We Hope… Fervently Do We Pray (2009), the making of which 

is the subject of a feature-length documentary by Kartemquin Films entitled A Good Man, to be 

broadcast on PBS American Masters in 2011. 

The Company has distinguished itself through extensive community outreach and educational 

programs, including partnerships with Bard College, where company members teach an innovative 

curriculum rooted in the Company’s creative model and highly collaborative methods; and with

Lincoln Center Institute, which uses Company works in its educator-training and in-school repertory 

programs. University and college dance programs throughout the US work with the Company to 

reconstruct significant works for their students. The Company conducts intensive workshops for 

professional and pre-professional dancers and produces a broad range of discussion events at home 

and on the road, all born from the strong desire to “participate in the world of ideas.” 

In 2010, the Company announced a groundbreaking merger with Dance Theater Workshop that 

The New York Times said could “alter the contemporary dance landscape in New York.” The new 

organization, called New York Live Arts, is a new model of artist-led, producing/presenting/touring arts 

organization unique in the United States that aims to support movement-based artists through new 

and adaptive approaches to creation, presentation, touring, education, and community engagement.

Fe Eighth International Biennial); 22 (2004, Arizona State University’s Institute for Studies In The Arts
