Performed with live musicians, Play and Play applies Jones’s inventive choreography to some of the most important Western musical works of our time. Featuring compositions by Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Mozart or Schubert this program highlights the joy of musicians and dancers working together. Repertory includes D-Man in the Waters (1989), Bill T. Jones’s joyful tour de force and a genuine modern dance classic, as well as Spent Days Out Yonder (2001), a sublime reflection on the second movement of Mozart’s String Quartet No. 23 in F Major, and the classic Continuous Replay performed with a new score composed by Jerome Begin. Every performance features live music.
Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company will be in residency at Arizona State Univeristy, April 19-24, 2013.
