Last Copies! Yvonne Rainer - Moving and Being Moved / Available at www.draw-down.com / Edited by Yvonne Rainer herself, this selection of texts and images by Rainer and various authors offers a retrospective portrait of her work, focusing on some of her most notable performances and projects from both the late 1960s (‘Trio A’, ‘The Mind Is a Muscle’) and since her return to dance with the White Oak Dance Project in 2000. Rainer is known for her challengingly experimental—and often minimalist—work as a dancer, choreographer, and filmmaker, which spearheaded the rise of postmodern dance. An essay by Rainer frames things from the perspective of an aging dancer who is aware of her physical limitations. Includes a conversation between Rainer and dancer Trisha Brown and essays by Soyoung Yoon, Douglas Crimp, and Maureen N. McLane.

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
