Yvonne Rainer Nevertheless review en recensie
- “Rainer’s accomplishment in this book is to translate her artistic mind into a practice. It is of course then truly original, and she is sharing her originality generously, humanly, here in this book. It’s pure gold for someone who is wanting to wrestle with how this revolutionary choreographer upended art history.” (Annie-B Parson, Big Dance Theater)

Flaptekst choreografieboek van Yvonne Rainer en Emmanuèle Phuon
A legendary choreographer’s personal and practical guide to the art of dance-making.
Yvonne Rainer was a founding member of Judson Dance Theater, a 1960s New York artists’ collective that championed ordinary, spare movements and spontaneity. Rainer’s decades of creativity—in dance and in filmmaking—have inspired generations of avant-garde, political, and feminist choreographers. Her many works include the iconic dance Trio A and the film Hand Movie.
In this book, Rainer dancer and choreographer Emmanuèle Phuon helps Rainer gather teaching notes from her dance classes and workshops, passages from her creative journals, and her newer thoughts on movement and art, opening a window on to the life’s work of a transformative artist. With fifty prompts for improvisational movement (“39. Travel a long distance as fast as you can while making regular changes in your means of locomotion”), sly illustrations by Pascal Lemaître, and an illuminating interview with Phuon, this workbook makes Rainer’s friendly, humorous, and down&-to-earth creative practice available to everyone. Because, as Rainer says, if you can move, you are a dancer.
Yvonne Rainer (b. 1934) is an American dancer, choreographer, and filmmaker, and a cofounder of the Judson Dance Theater. She lives in New York City.
Emmanuèle Phuon, a choreographer, dancer, and teacher, is a faculty member at Montclair State University, NYU Tisch School of the Arts’ Open Arts/Collaborative Arts, and Yale University. She lives in Brooklyn, NY.
