Product Description

* * * WHAT IS IT LIKE TO LIVE WITH A LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESS? CAN FEAR, ANGER, AND JOY BE TRANSLATED INTO MOVEMENT? IN THIS PROGRAM, JOURNALIST BILL MOYERS AND FILM-MAKER DAVID GRUBIN GIVE VIEWERS A RARE GLIMPSE INTO DANCER/CHOREOGRAPHER BILL T. JONES'S HIGHLY ACCLAIMED DANCE, "STILL/HERE." AT WORKSHOPS AROUND THE COUNTRY, PEOPLE FACING LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESSES ARE ASKED TO REMEMBER THE HIGHS AND LOWS OF THEIR LIVES, AND EVEN IMAGINE THEIR OWN DEATHS. THEY THEN TRANSFORM THEIR FEELINGS TO EXPRESSIVE MOVEMENT, WHICH JONES INCORPORATES INTO THE DANCE "STILL/HERE." JONES DEMONSTRATES FOR MOYERS THE MOVEMENTS OF HIS OWN LIFE STORY -HIS FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH WHITE PEOPLE, CONFUSION OVER HIS SEXUALITY, HIS PARTNER ARNIE ZANE'S UNTIMELY DEATH FROM AIDS, AND JONES'S OWN HIV STATUS. "MY JOB," JONES TELLS MOYERS, "IS TO EVOKE THE SPIRIT OF SURVIVAL * * *

The Moyers Collection - Bill T. Jones: Still Here with Bill Moyers Review

This beautiful video documents Bill T Jones' "Still/Here" project. He reveals himself to be a sensitive and extraordinary man as he guides groups of people (not dancers) who have life threatening illnesses through "life story" movement experiences. The participants in his workshops know that they are offering their stories and their movements to be used by Jones in his creative process. Out of the movements of these "ordinary people living with serious illnesses", Jones then develops dance choreography. At the end of the video the finished product of his opus, Still/Here, is presented. It is all the more meaningful because the viewer has been taken through the creative process and can see the connections to the workshop participants in the polished and athletic moving of the dancers.
