[@WHYZMAN_]

the foot taps are the best part

[@MZCD]

Unconventional and fascinating, without music still want to watch it till the end

[@blkphenom]

"Rainer is noted for an approach to dance that treats "the body more as the source of an infinite variety of movements" than as the purveyor of plot or drama. Many of the elements she employed-such as repetition, tasks, and indeterminacy-later became standard features of contemporary dance." from Wikipedia

[@noiseforthealgorithm4668]

amazing, thanks so much for sharing

[@nnaalluuaa]

No sound, just movements... The body free of narrative representations, free of totems or virtuosity, just the body within its particular rhythm and embodied history... Pretty good, pretty interesting!

[@inesoliveira3884]

Great observations

[@pizzakarton468]

there were similiar approaches in fine arts (e.g. abstractionism freed painting from being merely mimetic) music (12-tones music) and literatur (eugen gomringer's concrete poetry) during that time were Rainer created her piece. what is intereseting, that in all diciplines those approaches are the most controverial / hated up to today. maybe representation, narration and symbols are just at the very core of art and to try to repulse that is an interesting idea and made sense in it time (after any, at that point, given kind of culture died in the gas chambers) but not more then that.

[@ToyTala]

It's like she took all the movements that someone does in various dance styles and hit shuffle. Not like, dance moves, but dance movements.

[@tlacochahuaya]

the difference between dance and movement as visual live sculpture.

[@euge.sosa.b]

I guess this is how ridiculous we classical musicians look when we say Cage 4'33 is music

[@blibliblublu]

Exactly. you have to look at them both from a philosophical point of view or they'll mean nothing and be taken as a joke. We need philosophy in art so we can redefine and expand it.

[@ughidk9754]

@@blibliblublu why not just study philosophy then?

[@juliusseizure591]

@@ughidk9754 because philosophy has no immediacy, unlike art

[@sloppertj.globbert5194]

I mean, Rainer was actually in a class with Robert Dunn, who (in turn) was orignally a composer and took influence from John Cage. So, you're exactly right :)

[@jessicasevilla-suarez5585]

why is this art

[@mrp612]

This was groundbreaking choreography at the time because it allowed movement to be the subject of the dance rather than a narrative using codified technique and fanciful costumes. It stripped away formality and opened the door to experimentation and discovery in the field of dance rather than simply imitating the works of the past.

[@gayedavies2797]

What is art ? Who says what is valued? Shiobhan Davies style ....love it as it isn’t pretty ballet 🩰

[@michaelrichardt]

Because it has survived the tides of history

[@gabiazvd]

bc is subjective

[@wiinsim]

@@mrp612 From what I’ve gathered, the decors and the stories and the clothes re-entered the scene of dance not very long after this choreography. Is there any long-lasting impact or any impact of this particular routine that has reached to the current dance scene?

[@fernandoluis53]

wtf is this. I have been assigned this bs from my drama teacher

[@narizota]
