Mikhail Baryshnikov and White Oak Dance Project perform works from PAST Forward, a retrospective and celebration of Judson Dance. Pieces alternate with video sequences, created by Charles Atlas and narrated by Baryshnikov. The opening video depicts a brief history of the Judson via stills and interviews, then works are bracketed with a quick description by its choreographer. Public participation is part of the program: local dancers and community members take part in "Huddle" and "Satisfyin Lover". Unusually, Baryshnikov dances solo in "Single Duet", which is cut off in this recording.
Huddle (Simone Forti, choreographer) -- Chairs (David Gordon, choreographer; John Philip Sousa, composer) -- Satisfyin Lover (Steve Paxton, choreographer) -- Single Duet (Deborah Hay, choreographer; Jennifer Tipton, lighting designer; Morton Feldman, composer)
