Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
The Nasher Sculpture Center has announced its next guest for its monthly NasherSalon series: Bill T. Jones, among the most influential choreographers in the history of dance, will appear on March 20. Jones, whose dance company with Arnie Zane is close to celebrating its 25th anniversary, is the recipient of more awards than we've space to list. Just read his bio, a most impressive list of accomplishments even for a genius with an extraordinary tale told often and eloquently.
Jones will also be seen before year's end in Timothy Greenfield-Sanders and former Fort Worth Star-Telegram and New York Times film critic Elvis Mitchell's The Black List, bought by HBO a day before its debut at the Sundance Film Festival last month. Jones' segment is particularly riveting, nestled between those from Toni Morrison, Chris Rock, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Colin Powell, among many others. Tickets for the event go on sale here March 2 at 10 a.m.; they're $45 for non-members, $40 for members. --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
