"The Judson Dance Theatre "explores the work and legacy of one of
the most influential of all dance companies, which first performed
at the Judson Memorial Church in downtown Manhattan in the early
1960s. There, a group of choreographers and dancers--including
future well-known artists Twyla Tharp, Carolee Schneemann, Robert
Morris, Trisha Brown, Yvonne Rainier, and others--created what came
to be known as " postmodern dance." Taking their cues from the
experiments of Merce Cunningham, they took movements from everyday
life--walking, running, gymnastics--to create dances that
influenced not only future dance work but also minimalism in music
and art, as well as the wedding of dance and speech in solo
performance pieces.
Judson's legacy has been explored primarily in the work of dance
critic Sally Banes, in a book published in the 1980s. Although the
dancers from the so-called "Judson School" continue to perform and
create new works--and their influence continues to grow from the US
to Europe and beyond--there has not been a book-length study in the
last two decades that discusses this work in a broader context of
cultural trends. Burt is a highly respected dance critic and
historian who brings a unique new vision to his study of the Judson
dancers and their work which will undoubtedly influence the
discussion of these seminal figures for decades to come
"Performative Traces: Judson" "Dance Theatre and Its Legacy
"combines history, performance analysis, theory, and criticism to
give a fresh view of the work of this seminal group of dancers. It
will appeal to students of dance history, theory, and practice, as
well as all interested in the avant-grade arts and performance
practice in the 20th century.
