YVONNE RAINER - TALK
DOING NOTHING / NOTHIN’ DOIN’ :
REVISITING A MINIMALIST APPROACH TO PERFORMANCE
Au nom du collège des Bourgmestre et Échevins de la Ville de Bruxelles, Madame Faouzia Hariche, Échevine de l’Instruction Publique, de la Jeunesse et de la Petite Enfance et le Directeur de l’Académie, Daphné de Hemptinne, ont le plaisir de vous inviter à la conférence d’Yvonne Rainer.
Cette conférence engage une méditation métaphysique sur les fins ultimes du minimalisme dans la performance post-moderne. À partir de la position d’une danseuse âgée, Rainer aborde ce scénario à travers plusieurs formulations spéculatives, incluant son propre travail, passé et présent - (conférence en anglais).
“A founding member of New York’s pioneering Judson Dance Theater, Rainer is widely regarded as a foundational figure of American art and avant-garde dance since the 1960s. Her boundary-breaking choreography, such as Trio A from The Mind Is a Muscle (1966–68), has been performed in numerous forms and settings by both dancers and non-dancers. By the late 1960s, Rainer developed a form known as “performance demonstrations” or “composites,” which combine fragments of choreography with spoken monologues, projections, films, and sounds. In the 1970s, she turned her attention fully to filmmaking, directing Lives of Performers (1972), Journeys from Berlin/1971 (1980), and Privilege (1990). In 2000, Rainer returned to dance and choreography”
