Still/Here: A Conversation with Bill T. Jones and Anna Deavere Smith

Please join us for a conversation with dance visionary Bill T. Jones and award-winning playwright, performer, and NYU Professor Anna Deavere Smith. The discussion will center Jones’ legendary and controversial multimedia work Still/Here and its tremendous impact in the context of Bill T. Jones' canon of work. Still/Here premiered in 1994 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and was recently presented on the same BAM stage, inviting new audiences to experience this groundbreaking work 30 years after it changed the dance world forever.

PLEASE NOTE: This event will prioritize attendees from within the NYU community first. Non-NYU attendees will be seated at the discretion of house management. Advance RSVP for all in-person attendees is strongly encouraged.

This event will be live-streamed. Virtual attendees will receive a link on the day of the event.
