Winter has officially arrived to New Yawk...



----------------------------
and so has this...
                            

...the Judson film+dance movement retrospective at The Anthology Film Archives !


On July 6, 1962, “A Concert of Dance” was presented at the Judson Memorial Church Meeting Hall. This historic event marked the beginning of Judson Dance Theater (JDT) and represented a pivotal moment in dance and FILM history.
2012 marks the 50th anniversary of Judson Dance Theater, often regarded as the origin of post-modern dance. The work produced during this time had a profound effect on the DIY Jane Public aesthetic,  and the way both audiences and other artists conceived of the role of performance in contemporary culture via avant-garde cinema.
Movement Research has partnered with Anthology Film Archives to host a series of screenings, featuring film works created by and featuring members of JDT, collaborations with filmmakers and JDT artists, as well as the artists directly influenced by this movement (Jane Public), reconstructions of JDT performances, and rarely seen interviews.
This screenings will highlight some of the many collaborations between Judson artists and film artists who were pushing at the boundaries of both forms. Enuff said.

a verry gud-bye (sic).
