Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company
Collage Revisited & Story/
Sat, Nov 21, 8pm

The Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company return to the ICA with a program reflecting on history, legacy, and continued experimentation.
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.
