Annual Campaign

With our fall premiere of A Quarreling Pair opening to great audience and critical praise, the Company is poised for its highly anticipated 25th Anniversary kick-off celebration which includes a New York Season at BAM's Next Wave Festival in Fall 2008. Last fall, 120 donors donated over $58,000 to our A Quarreling Pair Campaign, but we still need to complete our funding. It takes a great amount of support and annual commitment from people like you to make new works like this happen. Please help us reach our goal of raising another $42,000 by June 30.

By making a donation and joining our growing community of contributors, you will become an important member of the Bill T. Jones/ Arnie Zane Dance Company's "producing team" and you will directly support Bill T. Jones' newest work, A Quarreling Pair.

Support-a-New-Work Today

One of Bill's most theatrical works to date, A Quarreling Pair is exquisitely danced, sung, and acted by a cast of 14 and features the celebrated 10-member dance company, one guest actor, and three composer/musicians, and involves over 10 props, 15 wigs, and 70 costume and shoe changes. It will tour for over two years with more than 40 performances, and will reach at least 50,000 audience members.

Be-a-Producer by Tomorrow

Whether you're interested in helping us license Bob Dylan's "A Hard Rain" for a performance ($50), underwrite a dancer for a half or full day ($125/$250), sponsor a Liz Prince costume creation ($500), purchase a road box with your name on it ($900), or create your own category, we greatly appreciate your level of financial commitment.

Invest-in-the-Company for the Future

Your gift makes all the difference, and giving to our Company goes a long way. One of our donors said it just right:

"You are not just making a contribution to the creation and touring of a new dance work, you are making an investment in the future of the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company."
We hope that you will join us in supporting another of Bill's new works that touches the hearts and souls of so many.
