“The Margaret Jenkins Dance Company revels in motion. You feel that adrenaline high build and build, the dancers blurring in a froth of activity. Their vitality gives you shivers.”
—The Washington Post

The Margaret Jenkins Dance Company is known nationwide for performing highly charged kinetic works that are at once physically rigorous and intellectually demanding. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of her Company, choreographer Margaret Jenkins created Times Bones (2013) in collaboration with her dancers, composer Paul Dresher, visual designer Alexander V. Nichols, and poet Michael Palmer. Inspired by the myth of Osiris, Ms. Jenkins, with her dancers and collaborators, gathers the scattered “bones” of her past repertory, finding a new dance at the collision of past and present. Regarded as one of this country’s most influential dance-makers, Margaret Jenkins propels the artists and the audience on a journey forward into a rich and unknown territory.

These performances will be the New England premiere of Times Bones, and will also be the first performances by this San Francisco-based company in New England since 1998.

A Breaking Ground Dance Series event presented by the Dance Department and the Center for the Arts. Made possible by a grant from the National Dance Project of the New England Foundation for the Arts.
