During the last thirty-two years, the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company
has shaped the evolution of contemporary dance through the creation and
performance of more than one hundred and forty works. Founded as a
multicultural dance company in 1982, the company was born of an elevenyear artistic collaboration between Bill T. Jones and Arnie Zane. Today, the
company is recognized as one of the most innovative and powerful forces
in the modern dance world. The company has performed its ever-enlarging
repertoire worldwide in more than two hundred cities and in thirty countries
on every major continent. In 2011, the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company
merged with Dance Theater Workshop to form New York Live Arts, of which
Bill T. Jones is the artistic director.
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. 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, Iowa); 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); Fondly Do
We Hope . . . Fervently Do We Pray (2009, Ravinia Festival, Highland Park,
Illinois); Another Evening: Venice/Arsenale (2010, La Biennale di Venezia,
Venice, Italy); Story/Time (2012, Peak Performances); and A Rite (2013, Carolina
Performing Arts at the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill). The company
is also currently touring Body Against Body, an intimate and focused collection
of duet works drawn from the company’s thirty-year history.
Bill T. Jones, artistic director/cofounder/choreographer, is the recipient of
the 2014 Doris Duke Artist Award; the 2013 National Medal of Arts Award;
2010 Kennedy Center Honors; a 2010 Tony Award for Best Choreography of
the critically acclaimed FELA!; a 2007 Tony Award, 2007 Obie Award, and 2006
Stage Directors and Choreographers Foundation CALLAWAY Award for his
choreography for Spring Awakening; the 2010 Jacob’s Pillow Dance Award; the
2007 USA Eileen Harris Norton Fellowship; the 2006 Lucille Lortel Award for
Outstanding Choreography for The Seven; the 2005 Wexner Prize; the 2005
Samuel H. Scripps American Dance Festival Award for Lifetime Achievement; the
2005 Harlem Renaissance Award; the 2003 Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize; and
the 1994 MacArthur “Genius” Award. In 2010, Jones was recognized as Officier
dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government, and in 2000, the
Dance Heritage Coalition named him “An Irreplaceable Dance Treasure.”
Jones choreographed and performed worldwide with his late partner, Arnie
Zane, before forming the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company in 1982. He
3
has created more than one hundred and forty works for his company. Jones is
the named artistic director of New York Live Arts, an organization that strives
to create a robust framework in support of the nation’s dance and movementbased artists through new approaches to producing, presenting, and educating.

two Choreographic Fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts (1983
and 1984). In 1980, Zane was corecipient, with Jones, of the German Critics
