An autobiographical meditation on art from the world-renowned dancer and choreographer In this ceaselessly questioning book, acclaimed African American dancer, choreographer, and director Bill T. Jones reflects on his art and life as he describes the genesis of Story/Time, a recent dance work produced by his company and inspired by the modernist composer and performer John Cage. Presenting personally revealing stories, richly illustrated with striking color photographs of the work's original stage production, and featuring a beautiful, large-format design, the book is a work of art in itself. Like the dance work, Story/Time the book is filled with telling vignettes—about Jones’s childhood as part of a large, poor, Southern family that migrated to upstate New York; about his struggles to find a place for himself in a white-dominated dance world; and about his encounters with notable artists and musicians. In particular, Jones examines his ambivalent attraction to avant-garde modernism, which he finds liberating but also limiting in its disregard for audience response. As he strives to make his work more personal and broadly engaging, especially to an elusive African American audience, Jones—who is still drawn to the avant-garde—wrestles with questions of how an artist can remain true to himself while still caring about the popular reception of his work. A provocative meditation on the demands and rewards of artistic creation, Story/Time is an inspiring and enlightening portrait of the life and work of one of the great artists of our time.

Each culture, religion and even modern science have their own ways of understanding and explaining the concept of time. Most Abrahamic religions have a concept of linear time scale. With the theory of Big bang, modern science also represent the same. But ancient culture originated from the east have the concept of a Cyclic time where the creation and destrruction runs in cycle. Even, the time scale used by ancient Eastern cultures are way more complex and absolute. The concept of kaal is itself a fascinating system. These systems are in use since thousands of years with 50000 times more precision and scale. This book is a journey through this precise, oldest, yet the most advanced system of time calculations from atomic to the cosmic level.
