ASU Gammage Beyond Series Performances
Oct. 25, 2025: “Still/Here”
Thirty years after its premiere, the groundbreaking dance theater work “Still/Here” by Bill T. Jones returns! The Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company remounts this timeless “landmark of 20th-century dance,” underscoring its ongoing resonance with today and its ability to evoke a spirit of survival. Created during one of the most contentious and terrifying periods, the AIDS epidemic, Still/Here broke boundaries between the personal and the political and exemplified a form of dance theater that is uniquely American. In spite of its being at the center of the culture wars, or because of it, the highly formal multimedia work defined and ultimately transcended its era. In the intervening years, much has changed in the world. Though with another Pandemic behind us, wars raging, the planet failing, and technology rising, somehow the questions around mortality remain.
Nov. 15, 2025: “Christopher Rivas – How To Get Free“
This three part immersive performance ritual tackles the human condition head-on, revealing how contemporary life bears striking parallels to the enduring curses of Sisyphus, Tantalus and Narcissus. These 3 Greek myths are timeless: A man pushing a rock up a hill, someone left thirsty & hungry for eternity, and a narcissist drowning himself over and over. Writer/Performer Christopher Rivas delves into the haunting never ending cycle of memory, the capitalist obsession with “more,” and the self-indulgence of being trapped inside our own algorithms. How can these myths/stories/lessons help us through the madness and mess, and bring a deeper understanding of ourselves?
Jan. 24, 2026: “Step Afrika!“
Step Afrika!’s signature work The Migration: Reflections on Jacob Lawrence is based on Lawrence’s iconic painting series that chart the story of African Americans moving from the South to the North in the early 1900s. Each piece uses the images, color palette, and motifs in the painting series to tell this astonishing story through pulsating rhythms and visually stunning movement.
Feb. 7, 2026: “Indian School“
Indian School is a deeply personal and visually arresting solo performance by Timothy White Eagle. It weaves together historical trauma, cultural identity, and ancestral connections to examine the enduring effects of forced assimilation on personal and communal belonging. This exploration is inspired by White Eagle’s own story of adoption and his grandfather’s experience in government-run boarding schools for Native American children.
March 28, 2026: “Rubberband Dance – Ever So Slightly“
Rubberband Dance is back, with ten dancer-athletes in top form. Ever So Slightly explores the behavioral mechanisms and reflexes we develop against the ceaseless flow of irritants that bombard us in our daily lives. Most of us long for calm and resilience, but how do we get to a zone where noise and aggressivity no longer have a place? Simultaneously delivering delicacy, brutality, finesse, and high-voltage action, the choreographer conveys all the energy contained in urgency, revolt, chaos, and flight.
