Primer conjunto: Yvonne Rainer. Steve Paxtón.
Trisha Brown. Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T): 9evenings. Robert Rauschenberg. Steve Paxton
Steve Paxton (1939) conoció, en los cursos de Anne Halprin y los talleres coreográficos de Robert Dunn (alumno de John Cage) en NY, a los que más tarde se convertirían en dos de los mas importantes coreógrafos postmodernistas, Yvonne Rainer(1934) y Trisha Brown (1936).
Los tres, aparte de colaborar entre ellos, fueron co-fundadores en 1962, junto a otros sinvergüenzas de diferentes disciplinas, de la Judson Dance Theater, y en 1970 del colectivo de danza experimental e improvisación, Grand Union. En 1966 Steve Paxton e Yvonne Rainer participaron junto a Robert Rauschenberg (1925), y otros muchos, en Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T): Nine Evenings: una legendaría seríe de eventos que incluían danza, teatro, música y acción.
Hoy viernes, 31 de octubre 2008, Steve paxton esta en gerona participando en la performance colectiva Tuning organizada por l'animal a l'esquena.. No supe de esta presentación hasta hace unos días y por la coincidencia decidí modificar la selección inicial (con 9 vídeos) que giraba en torno a la E.A.T. Será en otra ocasión o en otro conjunto o en mi blog.

Archival material of 9evenings has been assembled into ten films, each of which reconstructs the artist's original work and uses interviews with the artists, engineers and performers to illuminate the artistic, technical and historical aspects of the work. Open Score by Robert Rauschenberg is the first film to be released in a series that will bring to life a historic moment in contemporary art history.
Robert Rauschenberg: pintor estadounidense, que alcanzó notoriedad en 1950 en la transición desde el expresionismo abstracto al Pop-Art, también trabajó con fotografía, grabado, papel y en performance. En 1953, Rauschenberg aturdió al mundo del arte borrando un dibujo de Willem de Kooning.
MATERIAL FOR THE SPINE. Steve Pastón
"is a system. It attempts to examine the spine of Contact Improvisation. I began it in 1986, in NYC for a workshop at Movement Research. I was interested in alloying a technical approach to the improvisational results which had appeared in the bodies of Contact Improvisers. In allied martial arts, such as Aikido or Tai Chi Chuan, there is an attempt to make the central mass and thus the spine elusive. In Contact Improvisation the spine is given to one's partner. However baring injury, the spine and some of its musculature work almost invisibly. Via exercise, ideokinetic imagery, and specific examples I wanted to bring to consciousness the subtle sensation, the moments when usage reveals operations of the skeleton, the muscular connections available between pelvis and fingertips, the soft energetic support of leverage which I take to be chi or ki..... It is all to bring movement to consciousnessâ??
