Returning home amid a 2025–2026 National Tour, the Company revisits Bill and Arnie’s final collaboration and reprises its 2013 presentation utilizing indeterminacy.
In Collage Revisited, the full company revisits The History of Collage, the last collaboration between
Bill T. Jones and Arnie Zane before Arnie’s death. Originally created in 1988, the remounting is part of
a legacy project for the company — looking back to look forward. The piece recalls the excitement the
two artists shared as they set out to reconsider dance spectacle during the 1980s art scene. Collage
Revisited blends dance, music, and spoken word, exploring themes of identity.
Story/ is the latest result of the company’s continued investigation in using John Cage’s Indeterminacy
as a choreographic tool. Following the model for the acclaimed Story/Time, the work employs a
random menu of movement that is accompanied by Franz Schubert’s String Quartet No. 14 (Death and
the Maiden) to craft a conversation between the music and the movement.
