Meany Center for the Performing Arts

Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company

February 26–28
Meany Hall

Maria Baranova

Thirty years after its historic premiere, the groundbreaking dance theater work by Bill T. Jones returns to the stage. Created during the AIDS epidemic, Still/Here shatters boundaries between the personal and the political, exemplifying a form of dance theater that is uniquely American. At the heart of the piece are “survival workshops” Jones conducted with people living with life-threatening illnesses. The participants are the essence of the piece: their gestures inform the choreography, their words the lyrics, their images the stage; they will always be Still/Here, and this work exists to honor their strength.
