Molissa Fenley, one of the most influential artists of postmodern
dance, has had a lasting impact on performance. In dance, she has
explored extreme effort and duration in highly crafted patterns and
performed with an explosive, joyous energy that infused her work
with endurance, balance, and life force. She challenged modern
dance orthodoxy and redefined the character of a woman's moving
body in the late twentieth century, bringing postmodernized ritual
to the stage.
"Rhythm Field" is a vivid and probing portrait of Fenley's
four-decade career, written by her fellow artists. The collection
functions as a multifaceted look into one woman's complex
performing arts legacy. The result is itself an aesthetic
undertaking that investigates the ways in which Fenley straddles
dance traditions, art genres, and gender norms and has been a model
to the field. The collection offers several scholarly analyses of
the choreographer's work, and is, above all, a vibrant record from
the field. "Rhythm Field" sits at a necessary midpoint between
criticism and scholarship.
