Bill Evans moved permanently to Port Townsend in 2018. Before that, he had worked in or visited Port Townsend every year since 1980, when Centrum produced the first of many summer residencies by the Bill Evans Dance Company. He is distinguished professor emeritus at the University of New Mexico and professor emeritus at the College at Brockport, SUNY. He founded the Bill Evans Dance Company in 1975, the Bill Evans Summer Institute of Dance in 1977 and the Certification Program in Evans Dance Technique and Pedagogy in 2001. He produced both the Bill Evans Teachers Intensive and the Somatic Dance Conference at Fort Worden in 2023 and will do so again in 2024.
