In this work, she asserted her exploration of &#8220;ordinary&#8221; actions as well as her disregard for narrative constructions to create an intricate choreography that unfolded with a new scene every thirty seconds.<br \/>\nMore than half a century after its premiere, Rainer, in collaboration with choreographer and dancer Emily Coates, directed the 2019 revival of the piece for the Performa 19 Biennial in New York, grappling with the changing contexts of a new presentation of her radical performance. <em>Remembering a Dance: Parts of Some Sextets, 1965\/2019<\/em> delves into every aspect of this dance, from its original manifestation to its reconstitution.<br \/>\nThis book, designed by visual artist Nick Mauss, includes previously unpublished archival images and documents from the 1965 stagings at the Judson Memorial Church in New York and the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut. Texts by Emily Coates, RoseLee Goldberg, Jill Johnston, Kathy Noble, Yvonne Rainer, David Thomson, Lynne Tillman, and Soyoung Yoon, as well as a new interview with Rainer, pose questions about the trajectories of artworks, performers, and audiences, all while tracing the life\u2014and afterlife\u2014of a dance.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>AUTHOR:<\/strong> Edited by Emily Coates<br \/>\n<strong>PUBLISHER:<\/strong> Lenz Press (2023)<\/p>\n<p><strong>SOFTCOVER:<\/strong>\u00a0160 pages<br \/>\n<strong>LANGUAGE:<\/strong> English<br \/>\n<strong>ISBN13:\u00a0<\/strong>979-12-80579-11-9<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":38043,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[135,265,216,154,146,150,202,160,169,155,156,152],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-38044","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-english-en","product_cat-califormia","product_cat-films-en","product_cat-post-modern-dance-en","product_cat-theoretical-texts-en","product_cat-united-states-en","product_cat-feminism-en","product_cat-happenings-en","product_cat-interviews-conversations-en","product_cat-judson-church-en","product_cat-new-york-en","product_cat-performance-en","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
