A bobbing head in the middle of a vast ocean. This image from Herman Melvilles novel Moby Dick inspired associate artist, choreographer and dancer Bill T. Jones massive new work, Deep Blue Sea. Pip, a young black boy (a character from the book) falls overboard during the whaling expedition and finds himself floating in the ocean, afraid and alone. In this highly personal work, conceived in pursuit of the elusive we during these fractious times, Jones reflects on the interplay of single and group identities. He dances a solo for the first time in over fifteen years and is then joined in the spectacular set, designed by renowned architect Elizabeth Diller, by dancers from his company and eventually by ninety people from different local communities.
