Zellerbach is a great auditorium with excellent sight lines, so no matter where you sit you get a full view. And it was worth it for this show! I want to go see it again and again to experience the changes that happen from show to show. The program is a combination of 70 one-minute stories and pieces of choreography, chosen from over 130 possibilities, and strung together differently each time with unique musical accompaniment. It was boggling to consider how complicated that must be for all of the performers, and yet the combination we saw was beautiful and moving.

Bill T Jones is an acquired taste. I like how he challenges the audience with his art. This performance was no different. It was typical Bill T Jones - wonderfully abstract. His stories are (auto-) biographical and were fascinating to listen to in and of themselves. The movement (a mixture of dance and contact improvisation) and singing around him challenged the audience's preconceived notion of what should accompany the stories. I did not grasp all the references (musical, verbal and otherwise) but his 20 min chat after the performance with the audience elucidated much of his inspiration and the process of developing this work. The only part I disliked were the roughly 4 mins towards the end which used very a loud grating sound as backdrop. I found it to be aural torture. Aside from that, I'm glad I was able to catch this performance for a great price!

Authentic art and consciousness raising affair. Truly an international troupe without having to trek to New York.

During the 90 minutes experience, Bill present many ideas to me. Don't let it get old, he gave you another one. Loved it!
