Feelings Are Facts: the Life of Yvonne Rainer

Jack Walsh
Documentary : 83' / Art & Artists, Performance, Dance, Avantgarde, Bodies

In 1962, Yvonne Rainer and a group of maverick choreographers revolutionized dance by introducing everyday movements like walking and running, performing in street clothes and sneakers, and screaming and yelling into the dance lexicon. In the early 70s she introduced narrative filmmaking into American avant-garde film, turning that structuralism-dominated genre on its head. At 80, we follow Rainer as she continues creating vibrant, courageous, unpredictable dances that mix artistic disciplines and invite audiences to question the very assumptions of dance and performance.
