What's So Funny? Laughter and Anger in the Time of the Assassins
Yvonne Rainer offers a witty and timely meditation on forms of humor-horrifying, puzzling, peculiar, droll-elicited by our current political moment, while reminiscing about comedy in performances at the Judson Church and elsewhere in the 1960s
Trio A: Genealogy, Documentation, Notation
I worked on Trio A alone for six months in 1965. The dance initially consisted of a five-minute sequence of movement that would eventually be presented as The Mind Is a Muscle, Part I at Judson Church (on January 10, 1966). There it was performed by me, David Gordon, and Steve Paxton simultaneously but not in unison. An interim version of an extended, but not complete, The Mind Is a Muscle (Judson Church, May 22, 1966) was performed by William Da…

A compelling compilation of artists' statements and critical theory, producer interviews and image-text works, this anthology demonstrates the vitality of queer artists under attack and fighting back. Each maker and writer deploys a surprising array of techniques and tactics, negotiatin…

A Letter from Yvonne Rainer
I find it necessary to correct certain impressions that may have resulted from the advance publication of segments of my filmscript, Journeys From Berlin/1971, in October 9. As of the date of this writing, Sept. 10, 1979, the film has been shot and is being edited. When I submitted the script to October, sometime in early spring, although the main body of the film had not yet been shot, I had reason to believe that there would be no further revis…

"A Conversation about "Glacial Decoy
Brown: Watermotor was an exploration of new territory, so hesitation was built into it. I knew more of what my material was in Glacial Decoy. And I have been frustrated for years about how slowly my work proceeds. I decided to hammer this one out and to push myself as hard as I could. Actually, I started the movement a very long time ago-August 1st [1978]. I set up a regime and a pace that was unstoppable. I think that I choreographed every day f…
Film about a Woman Who
From an Indian Journal
Saw a folk opera last night. The form is called Chavittu Natakam, and this particular one is about St. George and the dragon. They give absolutely no attention to production,finesse. They miss cues, they look around “out of character,” the curtain keeps sticking, the two light men run up from the pit where they have been operating the spotlights seemingly at random and carry a banner across the stage, then scamper back down. A photographer walks …
