The Jerome Robbins Dance Division’s annual symposium at the Library for the Performing Arts is the culmination of work undertaken during a six-month fellowship where dance scholars and artists are invited to research a specific area of dance. 

This year, Dance Research Fellows have researched Bill T. Jones and his work in the archive, which is preserved by the Dance Division. Robert Coe, McClain Groff, Raja Feather Kelly, Alicia "Jubilee" Moore, Carlo Antonio Villanueva, and uwazi zamani present their research on Jones and his archive.
