Travel Pick: Dance in United States
Bill T. Jones / Arnie Zane Dance Company

Bill T. Jones / Arnie Zane Dance Company's Another Evening: Serenade/The Proposition approaches the legacy of Abraham Lincoln as a rumination on the nature of history. On the eve of the Bicentennial of Lincoln's birth, some of his documented words, his contemporary's writings and speeches, and other texts are used to set up the push and pull of historical perspective.

Connection to history-or lack thereof-is evoked through video by Janet Wong, an original score blending classical and folk music in a contemporary pastiche by electric cellist Chris Lancaster, Juilliard's Jerome Begin on piano, and text sung by soprano Lisa Komara.
