Curriculum IV: Spin and Spin! Turn! Turn! Turn!
Presented by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council in partnership
with New York Live Arts and Battery Park City Authority
Join us for the world premiere of a new work by visionary artist Bill T. Jones, as part of LMCC’s 2026 River To River Festival. This piece responds to a collaboration between the company and Lower Manhattan Cultural Council that was originally scheduled to premiere on September 12, 2001, on a stage set between the Twin Towers. Commemorating the 25th anniversary of that suspended moment—and all that has unfolded since—this premiere brings dance back to Lower Manhattan, shaped by resilience and the passage of time.
