We ❤️this new facsimile edition of Yvonne Rainer's classic 'Work 1961–73' from @primaryinfo !!⠀ “It goes without saying that a dance is a dance and a book about dance is a book. Though they may meet at the intersection of Art and Good Intentions, I find myself greedy. I have a longstanding infatuation with language, a not-easily assailed conviction that it, above all else, offers a key to clarity. Not that it can replace experience, but rather holds a mirror to our experience, gives us distance when we need it. So here I am, in a sense, trying to ‘replace’ my performances with a book, greedily pushing language to clarify what already was clear in other terms. But, alas, gone. This has seemed one good reason to compile a book out of the remains of my performances, letting the language fall where it may. Let it be said ‘She usually makes performances and has also made a book.’” –Yvonne Rainer⠀ ⠀ Originally published in 1974 by the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, the publication provides multifaceted insight into some of Rainer’s most celebrated choreographic works, including Terrain (1962), Trio A (1966), Continuous Project-Altered Daily (1970), War (1970), Street Action (1970), and This is the story of a woman who … (1973), among many others.⠀ ⠀ #yvonnerainer #judsonchurch @nscaduniversity #facsimileedition #yvonnerainerbook #yvonnerainerworks #dance #choreography https://www.instagram.com/p/B96q3Y9p5UP/?igshid=1ftumyibxzxay
