More than 30 years later, we are proud to partner once again with the Wex to welcome the Bill T. Jones / Arnie Zane Company’s Still Here to Columbus. This powerful performance honors the resilience and strength of individuals living with life threatening illnesses while celebrating a lasting artistic legacy. The King Arts Complex previously served as an Assisting Organization for the Survival Workshop held on December 8, 1993. The workshop was organized by Charles Helm of the Wex, with special recognition given to Dr. Barbara Nicholson and Sandra Smith of the King Arts Complex.

Through spoken word, video portraits, dance, and the abstract nature of gesture, Still/Here pays homage to the participants of the survival workshops held across the country during the project’s initial stages. The participants' generosity of spirit and willingness to express their experiences through words and gesture have always been and remain the essence of Still/Here. Their gestures inform the choreography, their words the lyrics, and their images the stage.
