Description

Distinguished Professor at UC Irvine, Yvonne Rainer began her career as a dancer and choreographer in the 1950s. In the ‘70s, after nearly twenty years working in modern dance, she turned her attentions to filmmaking. Over the subsequent twenty-five years, she made seven experimental feature films, including “Lives of Performers, The Man Who Envied Women” and “MURDER and murder.” Encouraged by a commission from the Baryshnikov Dance Foundation, she returned to choreography in 2000 for the White Oak Dance Project. Recent work includes choreography on “AG Indexical, with a little help from H.M.” (a revision of Balanchine’s “Agon”), “RoS Indexical“ (a revision of Nijinsky’s “Rite of Spring”) and “Spiraling Down” (a meditation on soccer, aging and war), as well as a video installation for a traveling solo exhibition comprising dance and texts that touch on art and politics in fin-de-siècle Vienna. Rainer published a memoir, “Feelings Are Facts: A Life”, in 2006.
