IN RESIDENCE: BILL T. JONES/ARNIE ZANE DANCE COMPANY MONDAY-SATURDAY APRIL 3-8, 2000 |
Choreographer-dancer Bill T. Jones and company return to Minneapolis as part of their ongoing home-away-from-home commitment to the Walker and to the Twin Cities. Gathering material for a new dance-theater work called Loud Boy--a contemporary interpretation of Euripides' The Bacchae--the company will work with a broad cross section of the community to explore cultural and personal images of God, a thematic issue at the heart of the Greek tragedy. A series of interactive discussions called What Does Your God Look Like? will provide Jones with rich source material for the work while giving community participants an active and meaningful opportunity to engage with each other, the company, and the creative process. Additional workshops, master classes, and a lecture/demonstration will be presented at venues throughout the Twin Cities.
