Exploring expressive vocabularies that have the power to dismantle the
boundaries of artistic disciplines, Yvonne Rainer
<
https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/yvonne-rainer-main/capsula>has pieced
together an extraordinarily extensive career straddling the worlds of
choreography, writing, and filmmaking. Aside from her participation in
milestones of the American avant-garde of the sixties – from Minimalism to
the Judson Dance Theatre –, her involvement in effervescent political
moments like the protests against the Vietnam war and the feminist
movements, and her autobiographical film investigations attest to her
branching, experimental energy, which is still going strong today. In works
such as her recent choreography “The Concept of Dust, or How do you look
when there’s nothing left to move?”, she combines a series of canonical
texts with a cast of older dancers who can, Rainer says, “challenge the
audience’s expectations and do things that no young dancer can do.”
In this podcast Yvonne Rainer talks about the passing of time, the
transferability of dance, training as legacy and the body’s filmic decay.
About tenacity, physicality, and influences. And about the turns, leaps,
and tumbles of a multifaceted career spanning more than half a century.
