Body Against Body harks back to Bill T. Jones and Arnie Zane's roots in New York's downtown scene of the 1980s. This programme is a tribute to the ground-breaking duets they created then, pushing back the frontiers of dance.

Over the years, they have acquired surprising prestige due to the various personal interpretations dancers have given them.Body Against Body offers a rare glimpse into the origins of these universally acclaimed choreographers.
