Bill T. Jones is one of this country’s most renowned choreographers, having earned accolades including the National Medal of Arts, a MacArthur Genius Award, Kennedy Center Honors, and multiple Tony Awards. For over 36 years, Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company has revolutionized modern dance while exploring issues of identity through social commentary.

In Jones’s newest work in development, On the Water, he examines group identity and its relationship to aloneness. It features spoken word and music performed live by the Company, and its staging will blur the boundary between audience and sculpted dancer, intensifying the theme of belonging versus isolation.
