Bill T. Jones leaps to Culbreth stage

Dancer and choreographer Bill T. Jones expresses a range of issues — religion, death, stereotypes, gender, the body and the African aesthetic — through movement. He comes to U.Va. April 25 to give a lecture, as well as a demonstration, from 6-8 p.m. in Culbreth Theatre.

In recognition of his innovative contributions to performing arts, Jones has received numerous awards, including a 1994 MacArthur Fellowship.

Jones’ visit is part of “Dance Today: Steps and Commentary,” a series sponsored by several U.Va. departments and groups, including the Campaign for Dance, the Drama Department and the Forum for Contemporary Thought. Tickets are $6 for students and $12 for the public.
