Free Sightlines post-performance discussions with Bill T. Jones and members of the company will take place immediately following both performances. The result is an evening-length program in nine parts that explores the influences cultures have on one another.
Transformation is the only constant.
Carefully selected music supports these themes of cultural collision and transformation, featuring songs from Zambia, medieval Spanish dances, the Yanomami Indians of Roraima, Portuguese fado , Villa Lobos and Milton Nascimento, John Cage, Mozart, and Brazilian Chant in the Gregorian style. Robert Wierzel's lighting and Bjorn G. Amelan's transparent white panels provide a luminous temple backdrop. Zane conveys a kaleidoscope of humanity in his portraits. He studies a range of non-traditional subjects, from old to young, heavy to svelte, reflecting a powerful interest in the movement and postures of the human body expressing itself. Also featured are photographs of fellow dancers and acquaintances, including Bill T. Jones, his lifelong partner.
