The Dance Historian Is In with Wendy Perron '69

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC I The performances of Judson Dance Theater of the early 1960s were never filmed or videotaped. But in the early 1980s, Wendy Perron, while on faculty at Bennington College, initiated a series of residencies by dance artists involved in Judson Dance Theater, as well as a photo exhibit, videotaped interviews, and reconstructions. 

This multi-layered endeavor became the Bennington College Judson Project, the first set of reconstructions and interviews involving Judson artists Yvonne Rainer, Steve Paxton, Trisha Brown, Elaine Summers, David Gordon, Lucinda Childs, Robert Rauschenberg, Deborah Hay, Remy Charlip, Aileen Passloff, and many more. Perron will show and discuss excerpts of the dances and interviews.
