bill t. jones : a good man
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 6:19PM Watch Bill T. Jones: A Good Man on PBS. See more from AMERICAN MASTERS.
After recently seeing FELA, I became interested in the work of Bill T. Jones. His Tony Award winning choreography for FELA moved me to tears. I came across this documentary about his new project: A Good Man, and had to share. It is an incredibly inspiring and intelligent film about dance, choreography, performance and storytelling. This is a must-see for anyone interested in creativity. Works like this make me wish I had pursued dance more professionally. I am completely in awe.
"I used to say that I want grace. That my reward in this life were to be to find what grace is. But now it's all choppy seas. Grace is for the saints. I'm not a saint, I don't aspire to be one yet. I'm a two-fisted maker."
– Bill T. Jones.

This is great! I can feel the emotion they want to convey in their every move! A movie worth watching! Thanks for sharing.
Bill Jones' choreography is stunning. You can really feel the emotions not only by their moves but also their facial expressions and that's really hard to do. Two thumbs up for this.
