Presented in conjunction with Rethinking the Imprint of Judson Dance Theater Fifty Years Later: Movement Research in Residence.
On September 16, Movement Research (MR) solicited questions from the greater MR community with regards to the imprint that Judson Dance Theater (1962–64) continues to make on contemporary performance. Four questions were selected by attendees as focus topics for further investigation by artists nominated to lead a series of week-long performance laboratories and open rehearsals at the New Museum. Today, those artists share the results of their investigations for further consideration in an afternoon filled with performance, experimentation, and lively debate. Carla Peterson (Artistic Director, New York Live Arts) emcees.
Presenting artists:
AUNTS
luciana achugar
Maggie Bennett
Bureau for the Future of Choreography
Walter Dundervill
Moriah Evans
