We had the pleasure of having Paul Kaiser and Marc Downie talk here at ARTS Lab (http://bit.ly/dBjyfc) a few months back and... this event promises to be a great example of cross-genre/intermedia collaboration. More info at:  http://thedissolve.net/calendar#6

8PM | BILL T. JONES

AT THE LENSIC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company performance

Part of the SITE Santa Fe Biennial's Opening Weekend, this special performance by Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company features a new commission and collaboration with OpenEnded Group. The opening weekend live performance will consist of a selection of recently reconstructed and rarely-seen duets that showcase the company's polished movement technique. The performance will include Duet, a piece featuring some of Jones' most sophisticated movement, and one or two other seminal works that use a repetitive, formalist vocabulary which echoes the concerns of visual artists who influenced Jones and Zane's creative process. The premiere theatrical screening of the new high-resolution edition ofGhostcatching will be interwoven with the dances, foregrounding the cross-genre collaboration in the company's body of work. The program has a running time of approximately one hour.

The installation at SITE Santa Fe will consist of the world premiere of the tenth anniversary edition of Ghostcatching, the renowned video that brings the movement of dancer Bill T. Jones into revelatory clarity using advanced motion capture technology.
