Founded as a multicultural dance company in 1982, Bill T. Jones/Arnie
Zane Dance Company is the product of an eleven-year collaboration
between Bill T. Jones and Arnie Zane. It emerged onto the international
scene in 1982 with the world premiere of Intuitive Momentum with
legendary drummer, Max Roach, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Since
then, the eleven-member Company has performed its ever-enlarging
repertoire (currently over 75 works) in over 130 American cities and 30
countries, including Australia, Brazil, Japan, Portugal, Greece, South
Africa and the Czech Republic. The Company has taught and performed
under the aegis of the United States Information Agency in Asia and
Southeast Asia. Audiences of approximately 100,000 annually see the
Company across the country and around the world.=20

Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company's work has often been described
as a fusion of dance and theater. The repertoire is highly diverse in
subject matter, visual imagery, and length of each dance, ranging from
fifteen minutes to two hours. Some of its most celebrated creations are
evening-length works, including Last Supper at Uncle Tom's Cabin/The
Promised Land (1990), premiered as part of the Next Wave Festival at the
Brooklyn Academy of Music; Still/Here (1994), premiered at the Brooklyn
Academy of Music; and Mr. Jones' solo production, The Breathing Show
(1999). The Company's most recent production, a collaboration with The
Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center featuring the music of
Beethoven, Shostakovich and Mendelssohn, received its world premiere at
Hancher Auditorium at University of Iowa in January 2002 and will
continue to tour with the Orion String Quartet through the spring of
2003.=20

The Company has received numerous awards, including New York Dance and
Performance Awards, "Bessies", for its 1986 Joyce Season, D-Man in the
Waters, and for musical scoring and costume design for Uncle Tom's
Cabin/The Promised Land. Recently, 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.
Last year, The Dance Heritage Coalition named Bill T. Jones one of
America's Irreplaceable Dance Treasures. Off stage, the company's work
has been seen in such documentaries as Uncle Tom's Cabin/The Promised
Land (Great Performances Series), Bill T. Jones: Still/Here with Bill
Moyers, and I'll Make Me a World: A Century of African American Artists,
and the Emmy award-winning, Free To Dance: The Presence of
African-Americans in Modern Dance.

Bill T. Jones, a 1994 recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship, began his
dance training at the State University of New York at Binghamton (SUNY),
where he studied classical ballet and modern dance. After living in
Amsterdam, Mr. Jones returned to SUNY, where he became co-founder of the
American Dance Asylum in 1973. Before forming Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane
Dance Company (then called Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane & Company) in 1982,
Mr. Jones choreographed and performed nationally and internationally as
a soloist and duet company with his late partner, Arnie Zane.

In addition to creating more than 50 works for his own company, Mr.
Jones has received many commissions to create dances for modern and
ballet companies including Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Axis
Dance Company, Boston Ballet, Lyon Opera Ballet, Berkshire Ballet,
Berlin Opera Ballet and Diversions Dance Company, among others. He has
also received numerous commissions to create new works for his own
company, including premieres for the Next Wave Festival at the Brooklyn
Academy of Music and for St. Luke's Chamber Orchestra. In 1995, Mr.
Jones directed and performed in a collaborative work with Toni Morrison
and Max Roach, Degga, at Alice Tully Hall, commissioned by Lincoln
Center's Serious Fun Festival. His collaboration with Jessye Norman,
How! Do! We! Do! premiered at New York's City Center in 1999 as part of
Lincoln Center's Great Performers New Visions series. The Breathing
Show, Mr. Jones' evening long solo, premiered at Hancher Auditorium in
Iowa City in the fall of 1999.=20

Mr. Jones' memoirs, Last Night on Earth, were published by Pantheon
Books in 1995. An in-depth look at the work of Bill T. Jones and Arnie
Zane can be found in Body Against Body: The Dance and Other
Collaborations of Bill T. Jones and Arnie Zane, published in 1989 by
Station Hill Press. Hyperion Books published Dance, a children's book
written by Bill T. Jones and photographer Susan Kuklin, in 1998. Mr.
Jones is proud to have contributed to Continuous Replay: The Photography
of Arnie Zane, published by MIT Press in 1999.

Arnie Zane (1948-1988) was a native New Yorker born in the Bronx and
educated at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Binghamton. In
1971, Arnie Zane and Bill T. Jones began their long collaboration in
choreography and in 1973 formed the American Dance Asylum in Binghamton
with Lois Welk. Mr.Zane's first recognition in the arts came as a
photographer when he received a Creative Artists Public Service (CAPS)
Fellowship in 1973. Mr. Zane was the recipient of a second CAPS
Fellowship in 1981 for choreography, as well as two Choreographic
Fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts (1983 and 1984). In
1980, Mr. Zane was co-recipient, with Mr. Jones, of the German Critics
Award for his Work, Blauvelt Mountain. Rotary Action, a duet with Mr.
Jones, was filmed for television, co-produced by WGBH-TV Boston and
Channel 4 in London.
