This week's episode delves into a couple of events happening over the next weekend. First, Chris checks in with Musician, Composer, Author, Philosopher, David Rothenberg to hear about the upcoming Survival of the Beautiful All Day Wonder Cabinet happening at the Cantor Film Center on Feb 25, 2012.
In addition to David Rothenberg, the Wonder Cabinet participants are: Ofer Tchernichovski (Chris recorded a great conversation between David and Ofer who have collaborated together in exploring birdsong...all we can say is that you had to be there. You REALLY HAD TO BE THERE to hear this great conversation since Chris inadvertently deleted the audio recorded of the conversation which was intended for an episode of. Dead Hare Radio) The song heard in this episode is Trio Menura from Rothenberg's CD Why Birds Sing. (Bonus hint: The CD comes included with the book Why Birds Sing. David mentions that his Wonder Cabinet is based on Lawrence Weschler's Wonder Cabinet events. The books by Rothenberg mentioned in the conversation: Next, we have two conversations about the dance work of Yvonne Rainer. We hear from Choreographer, dancer and writer Susan Osberg and Kelly Kivland, Curatorial Associate at the Dia Foundation. These conversations relate to the upcoming performances of Rainer works being hosted at Dia:Beacon on Feb 25 & 26, 2012.
Susan Osberg From Chris' conversation with Susan: Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analysis Judson Dance founders mentioned by Susan: David Gordon Meredith Monk Trisha Brown Simone Forte Steve Paxton Lucinda Childs along with Yvonne Rainer and others (Dead Hare aside: Billy Name, featured in Dead Hare Episode 8 did the lighting for the Judson performances.) A handful of Yvonne Rainer's films, including Hand Movie (which gives Chris the creeps, for some reason), along with audio and other documentations can be seen at Ubuweb.com (http://search.atomz.com/search/?sp_a=sp10042f50&sp_q=yvonne+rainer&sp_p=all&sp_f=UTF-8) Rainer's No Manifesto (via wikipedia):
The Boris Groys talk, Everybody is an Artist, which Chris mentions was given at SVA in 2010. (See the video of Groys's talk on Vimeo) Susan references the deaths of three leaders of the dance world; Merce Cunningham, Pina Bausch, Kazuo Ohno Susan's dance company Workwith Dancers will be presenting a performance called TREE at Beacon Yoga in Beacon NY in late March, and early April.
