Bill T. Jones Revisits 'Still/Here'

storytelling

In 1994, choreographer, dancer and director Bill T. Jones stirred up controversy with his work "Still/Here," a performance piece that used dance, video, photos, music, and more to tell the stories of people grappling with terminal illness, including many who were dying of AIDS. Now, 30 years after the work first premiered at BAM, Bill T. Jones and his company will be returning for a recreation of that performance. Jones and original "Still/Here" company member Arthur Aviles join us to discuss the performance, which is running at BAM from October 30 through November 2.
