Sunday, April 27, 2003
Santa Fe, NM -- SITE Santa Fe will present "Out of a Corner of the Sixties,"
a slide and video lecture by Yvonne Rainer on Sunday, April 27, at 4 pm. The
event is part of the ongoing Art & Culture series. General Admission,

Yvonne Rainer is a highly respected and influential film/videomaker and choreographer.
In the early 1960s, she was one of the founders of the Judson Dance Theater,
a revolutionary company that joined nondancers and everyday movements into
performance. In 1968, she began to integrate short films into her live performances,
and four years later, she completed her first feature-length film, Lives
of the Performers. By 1975, Rainer made a complete transition to filmmaking,
but in 2000 Rainer returned to dance when she was commissioned by the Baryshnikov
Dance Foundation to choreograph work for the White Oak Dance Project.
"Out of a Corner of the Sixties" is a slide and video lecture on the diverse
cultural events and dance activity in and around Judson Church in Greenwich
Village, which influenced modern dance for decades to follow.
SITE Santa Fe's Art & Culture series is supported in part by Dottie
and Dick Barrett, Bobbie Foshay-Miller and Chuck Miller, Katherine and James
Gentry, Emily Fisher Landau, LLWW Foundation, and Barbara and Michael Ogg.
