Bill T. Jones' "Fondly Do We Hope … Fervently Do We Pray"

I can hardly wait for Bill T. Jone's new work, "Fondly Do We 
Hope … Fervently Do We Pray," to come to New York City 
next summer.  This dance, which includes multimedia 
aspects and is interdisciplinary, was commissioned by 
the Ravina Festival and recently premiered there. The 
Amie Zane Dance company performed this new work of 
art which was created in honor of Abraham Lincoln's birth
200 years ago.

As of now, video snippets of the development of the show 
and the rehearsal process are available online. You can also 
visit Bill T. Jones' website to learn more. I do not doubt for 
one moment that this work will deeply impact those who 
are blessed to see it.
