Bill T. Jones/ Arnie Zane Dance Company: Analogy/Dora: Tramontane

A giant in the modern dance world, Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company is known for its remarkable choreography using form to explore identity and social commentary.

The dancers move between dancing, speaking and singing to tell the story of 95-year old Dora Amelan, a French Jewish nurse and social worker based on her interviews with Jones. An innovative force in modern dance, Bill T. Jones is recipient of numerous awards, including the National Medal of Arts, MacArthur Genius Award, a Kennedy Center Honors award, and multiple Tony Awards. You will be moved by this evening-length work about resilience and humanity as told through brilliant dance.
