For almost four decades, the groundbreaking Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company has revolutionized modern dance while exploring issues of identity.
The company’s work “What Problem?” evokes the tension between belonging to a community and feelings of isolation that many feel in these divisive political times.
Two-time Tony Award winner Bill T. Jones pursues the elusive “we” in this highly personal work, performing alongside his 10-member company, four vocalists and a cast of over 20 local community members.
