Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company Continues 2025–2026 National Tour With STILL/HERE And Seminal Repertory Works

The Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company continues its 2025–2026 national tour February 26 through May 1, 2026, with performances in eight cities across the United States. The tour features one of four rotating programs, highlighted by the landmark restaging of STILL/HERE, alongside CONTINUOUS REPLAY, STORY/, and COLLAGE REVISITED (1988, 2025). Additional tour dates will be announced.

Originally created during the AIDS epidemic, STILL/HERE is described by The New York Times as “An American Classic.” The work draws from the company’s Survival Workshops, conducted nationwide with people living with life-threatening illness. Their words and gestures inform the choreography and text, blending spoken word, video, and movement in a multimedia structure. The remount was produced by New York Live Arts with lead support from Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) and Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels.

Company members performing on tour include Barrington Hinds, Jada Jenai, Shane Larson, Danielle Marshall, Jacoby Pruitt, Babou Sanneh, Hannah Seiden, Mak Thornquest, Wyeth Walker, and Rosa Allegra Wolff.

CONTINUOUS REPLAY, originally choreographed by Arnie Zane as Hand Dance in 1977 and later revised by Bill T. Jones in 1991, is structured around 45 precise gestures developed over time and space. The score, by Jerome Begin, references Beethoven’s first and last string quartets.

STORY/ continues the company’s exploration of John Cage’s indeterminacy as a choreographic tool, set to Franz Schubert’s String Quartet No. 14 (“Death and the Maiden”) performed live.

COLLAGE REVISITED (1988, 2025) revisits The History of Collage, the final collaboration between Jones and Zane before Zane’s death. The remount reflects on spectacle, memory, and artistic partnership within the 1980s art scene.

Bill T. Jones, now 74, continues to lead the company as Artistic Director/Co-Founder/Choreographer and serves as Artistic Director of New York Live Arts. His honors include two Tony Awards, the National Medal of the Arts, a Kennedy Center Honor, and a MacArthur Fellowship.
