Yvonne Rainer
The final iteration of Rainer’s dance rant A Truncated History of the Universe for Dummies, accompanied by texts offering a real-time account of Rainer’s creative process.
Choreographer and filmmaker Yvonne Rainer has long investigated the ways in which movement can be a political act in and of itself–on the stage, on the screen, or at the lectern. In Revisions, Rainer pushes her interest in embodied activism to a new arena- what she calls the dance rant. This volume includes the final iteration of Rainer’s latest dance rant, entitled A Truncated History of the Universe for Dummies. This performance piece evolved in live presentations in Dublin, Stockholm, and New York before being expanded and adapted in written form here. In this now-completed work, Rainer mobilizes her rage and bafflement at contemporary political events through the guise of Apollo, Leader of the Muses.
