Summary
Mikhail Baryshnikov and White Oak Dance Project perform Past Forward, a retrospective and celebration of Judson Dance. Live dance works alternate with video sequences, created by Charles Atlas and narrated by Baryshnikov. The video depicts a brief history of the Judson via stills and interviews, then each live work is bracketed with a quick description from its choreographer. Public participation is part of the program: local dancers and community members take part in several works.
Act 2 (71 min.): (intermission) Huddle (Simone Forti, choreographer) -- Chair/Pillow (Yvonne Rainer, choreographer; Les Dickert, lighting designer; Tina Turner, performer) -- Carnation (Lucinda Childs, choreographer) -- Homemade (Trisha Brown, choreographer) -- Foray Forêt, excerpt (Trisha Brown, choreographer; Spencer Brown, lighting designer; Robert Rauschenberg, costume designer) -- Trio A Pressured #3 (Yvonne Rainer, choreographer; Chambers Brothers, performers) -- Overture to The Matter (David Gordon, choreographer; Ludwig Minkus, composer) -- Concerto (Lucinda Childs, choreographer; Eric Cornwell, lighting designer; Anne Masset, costume designer; Henryk Górecki, composer)
