“Visually and sonically stunning.” The New York Times 

“All of my work is in pursuit of the 'we.' What Problem? is the notion of 'WE THE PEOPLE.'“ - Choreographer Bill T. Jones

This new work from Tony Award-winning MacArthur “Genius“ Bill T. Jones features a live original score and excerpts from Herman Melville's Moby Dick and Martin Luther King, Jr.'s I Have a Dream speech.

Jones is known for his ability to visualize the human condition through choreography and dance. The recipient of the National Medal of Arts, a MacArthur Fellowship, a Kennedy Center Honors Award and multiple Tony Awards, there is little imaginative territory Jones has not attempted. His latest, highly-personal work, What Problem? is performed to live music, in part by local community members.

The performance will be followed by a Q & A session with Bill T. Jones, members of the dance company, and community participants.

Dance Series Sponsors: Margo Cohen-Feinberg & Bob Feinberg, Ellen & Peter O. Johnson, Barbara Stupay, and Sheila Wald
