Rules Of The Game has been hailed by the Washington Post as “a groundbreaking performance piece.” Jonah Bokaer uniquely combines dance, a first symphonic score by Grammy Award winning Pharrell Williams, and the unique visual arts of Daniel Arsham. William’s score is performed by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra as arranged and conducted by David Campbell.
Diana Widmaier Picasso is honored for her persuasive insistence that dance is equal to painting and sculpture and integral to all art. An important writer and curator, she is also and friend and collaborator of Jonah Bokaer.
