Detroit Adult Entertainment: Celebrating (HIV) positive lives
January 19, 2010 at 10:01 am | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsBill Jones is a New York-based choreographer, head of the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company and the creator of “Fondly Do We Hope, Fervently Do We Pray,” a multimedia dance performance honoring the life and work of Abraham Lincoln that is coming to Ann Arbor’s Power Center Jan. 22 and 23. Jones, who was diagnosed with HIV and lost his partner, Zane, to AIDS in the late 1980s, spoke out about the epidemic in his 1994 performance “Still/Here,” complete with controversial dancers dressed as red blood platelets.
In another part the country is Rosie Hayes, a Michigan-raised ex-drug addict and sex worker who fought to escape her destructive lifestyle, only to come out with an HIV-positive diagnosis. Instead of retreating to her past ways, or even remaining silent, Hayes now tells her story across the nation to various groups, spreading inspiration and hope that there can be life after an HIV diagnosis.
