SANTA BARBARA — UCSB Arts & Lectures will present Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15 at The Granada Theatre.
“All of my work is in pursuit of the ‘we.’ What Problem? is the notion of ‘WE THE PEOPLE.‘“ – Choreographer Bill T. Jones
This new work from Tony Award-winning MacArthur “Genius“ Bill T. Jones features a live original score and excerpts from Herman Melville’s Moby Dick and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s I Have a Dream speech.
Jones is known for his ability to visualize the human condition through choreography and dance. The recipient of the National Medal of Arts, a MacArthur Fellowship, a Kennedy Center Honors Award and multiple Tony Awards, there is little imaginative territory Jones has not attempted. His latest, highly-personal work, What Problem? is performed to live music, in part by local community members.
Dance Series Sponsors: Margo Cohen-Feinberg & Bob Feinberg, Audrey & Timothy O. Fisher, Ellen & Peter O. Johnson, Barbara Stupay, and Sheila Wald
Presented in association with UCSB Dept of Theater and Dance and UCSB Global Engagement, as part of International Education Week
