In August 1960, Anna Halprin taught an experimental workshop
attended by Simone Forti and Yvonne Rainer (along with Trisha Brown
and other soon-to-be important artists) on her dance deck on the
slopes of Mount Tamalpais, north of San Francisco. Within two
years, Forti's conceptually forceful Dance Constructions had
premiered in Yoko Ono's loft and Rainer had cofounded the
groundbreaking Judson Dance Theater. Radical Bodies reunites
Halprin, Forti, and Rainer for the first time inmore than
fifty-five years. Dance was a fundamental part of the art world in
the 1960s, the most volatile decade in American art, offering a
radical image of bodily presence in a moment of revolutionary
change. Halprin, Forti, and Rainer-all with Jewish roots-found
themselves at the epicenter of this upheaval. Each, in her own
tenacious, humorous, and critical way, created a radicalized vision
for dance, dance making, and, ultimately, for music and the visual
arts. Placing the body and performance at the center of debate,
each developed corporeal languages and methodologies that continue
to influence choreographers and visual artists around the world to
the present day, enabling a critical practice that reinserts social
and political issues into postmodern dance and art. Published in
