songs, dances and stories,

comfortable for all, this free
event will be limited to 20
families (it’s a big park where
we can all spread out). Bring

kiddos have yet to be vacci-
nated for COVID-19, we ask
that all participants (who are
old enough to do so) wear
a mask until safely seated
on their blankets. Once your
family is in your own area,
masks may be removed.

“Can You Bring It: Bill T.
Jones and D-Man in the
Waters.” The creative pro-
cess that culminated in

director Bill T. Jones’ tour
de force ballet, D-Man in
the Waters, one of the most
important and influential
works of art to come out of
the AIDS crisis, is brought to
life in this extraordinary new
documentary. In 1989, D-Man
in the Waters gave physical

anger, grief and hope for
salvation that Bill T. Jones
and Arnie Zane (both part-

were embattled by the AIDS
epidemic. Cost $12. Visit dia.
