Partners in Creation

A Creative Journey

The Partners in Creation program offers a front row seat to Bill T. Jones' artistic process, allowing an unprecedented level of access to one of the pre-eminent artists of our time as he conceptualizes, choreographs, develops and refines a new work. The creative journey follows a work from the gestation of the first creative idea through the rehearsal process to the premiere and touring of the work. Through private rehearsals, salons with the artists in the homes of our partners and/or board members, email updates from Bill, and private dinners and opening night performances, our Partners in Creation enjoy a first-hand experience of the creative journey.

Partners in Creation Commissions

Since its inception in 2006, Partners in Creation have funded over 60% of each of the two new works that have been developed, Chapel/Chapter (2006) and A Quarreling Pair (2007). Upcoming new work creations and special projects include: Serenade/The Proposition; Fondly Do We Hope...Fervently Do We Pray; Lincoln Lectures, and the 100 Migrations (nationwide workshops).  To date they have raised $1.85 million.

◊ Happy New Year!
January 6, 2010

...I quoted what the young Rabbi said at the memorial for Arnie Zane in April of 1988: "The day is long, the work is great, we're not obliged to finish the task, but neither are we allowed to ignore it." This was a condolence to family and friends as we honored a young, talented man whose life had abruptly ended.
