The fourth in Bill T. Jones’s “Curriculum” series has such a cheerily exclamation-laden subtitle—Spin and Spin! Turn! Turn! Turn!—that you might not recognize the allusion to Ecclesiastes, history’s first recorded nihilist. To the governing question of the Curricula pieces, “What does a contemporary progressive person have to know to live and work efficiently and morally in the world today?,” the preacher from the fourth century B.C. basically answered: Nothing. There is nothing you can do about anything, so live however you like. Perhaps not such bad advice for our wretched current moment, but like any good curriculum, Spin and Spin! doesn’t limit itself to right now. In fact, the solo—danced by Jones, charisma itself—had its beginnings in 2001, when the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC) commissioned a piece, to premiere on September 12. Yes, that September 12. This is the raincheck. In Jones’s usual elliptical fashion, where he talks about one thing and dances another, he will meditate on how America got from there to here, and where, if we survive the present mire, we might go next. The backdrop is the Statue of Liberty, and live music is by the millennial lodestar and jazz composer Samora Pinderhughes. —Apollinaire Scherr
