JHJC is a sponsor of this exciting residency
DW offers JHJC Members student price
tickets for Bill T Jones Opening Night
The JHJC is a proud sponsor of the upcoming residency of Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company at Dancers' Workshop with open rehearsals, master classes and performances August 10-15. We especially hope you will join us for the opening celebration and performance on Friday, August 14.

Dancers' Workshop has made a special offer* to current JHJC membership to receive the student price ($25)
for the Opening Performance on August 14
.
Email HERE to reserve up to TWO tickets at this rate.
Analogy:Dora/Tramontane, Mr. Jones' newest work, was developed in part in Jackson Hole last summer and is based on an oral history Jones conducted with 95-year old Dora Amelan, a French Jewish nurse and social worker and survivor of World War II. Exploring the experience and memories of this young woman through dance, theater, and the spoken word, it is a powerful portrait of the ability to persevere and survive. Bill T. Jones is the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Arts and a MacArthur "Genius" Award.
JHJC SUMMER CAMP TZEDAKAH BOXES INCLUDED IN ACCOMPANYING GROUP ART EXHIBIT
Students from the JHJC Spirit of the Mountains summer camp will have their newly created artwork (tzedakah boxes) on display at an art exhibition that accompanies the show and features the work of local artists and writers responding to the subject matter of
Analogy.
