Join us for the world premiere of a new work from visionary two-time Tony winner, National Medal of the Arts and Kennedy Center Honoree, Bill T. Jones.
Curriculum IV: Spin and Spin! Turn! Turn! Turn! responds to a performance commissioned by LMCC that was originally scheduled to premiere on September 12, 2001 on the plaza of the Twin Towers.Â
This new work, with original music from composer Samora Pinderhughes, commemorates the 25th anniversary of that suspended moment—and all that has unfolded since. Jones in collaboration with Pinderhughes forge an intergenerational bridge as both artists search within themselves and their respective creative interests to meditate on loss, and their distinct responses to the 25-year aftermath of 9/11 and other cataclysms spiralling into our era of loss of freedom, speech, movement, and justice. Featuring performances from Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company and live musicians, Spin and Spin! Turn! Turn! Turn! brings dance back to Lower Manhattan, shaped by resilience and the passage of time.
Commissioned by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and presented in partnership with New York Live Arts and Battery Park City Authority as part of the 2026 River To River Festival.
