Can You Bring It: Bill T. Jones and D-Man in the Waters (2021, 1:34) is a feature documentary that connects our world today to the fear, anger, grief, and hope of the AIDS pandemic that was at the heart of Bill T. Jones’ ballet, D-Man in the Waters, when it debuted in 1989. As we see a group of young dancers learn this work, new understandings of the power of art in a time of plague emerge from the experience. This film series is inspired by the exhibition, Alex Katz: Theater and Dance, on view now at the Colby College Museum of Art.
This screening is free and open to all.
