Description
The Judson Dance Theatre's legacy continues to influence contemporary dance and performance practice. In 2006, Ramsay Burt explores the work and impact of this influential group of choreographers and dancers who pioneered "postmodern dance" in the early 1960s. At the heart of Burt's study is an examination of the Judson dancers' use of everyday movements to create innovative performances that extended beyond traditional dance. This book combines history, performance analysis, theory, and criticism to provide a fresh perspective on the work of this seminal group. A valuable resource for students of dance history, theory, and practice, as well as those interested in the avant-garde arts and performance practices of the 20th century, "Performative Traces: Judson" offers a new understanding of the Judson dancers' enduring influence.
