Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

If you're interested in Plato, you're reading the wrong book. If you'reinterested in difficult childhoods, sexual misadventures, aesthetics, culturalhistory, and the reasons that a club sandwich and other meals--includingbreakfast--have remained in the memory of the present writer, keep reading.--fromFeelings Are Facts In this memoir, dancer, choreographer, and filmmaker YvonneRainer traces her personal and artistic coming of age. Feelings Are Facts (the titlecomes from a dictum by Rainer's one-time psychotherapist) uses diary entries, letters, program notes, excerpts from film scripts, snapshots, and film frameenlargements to present a vivid portrait of an extraordinary artist and woman inpostwar America.Rainer tells of a California childhood in which she was farmed outby her parents to foster families and orphanages, of sexual and intellectualinitiations in San Francisco and Berkeley, and of artistic discoveries andaccomplishments in the New York City dance world. Rainer studied with Martha Graham(and heard Graham declare, 'when you accept yourself as a woman, you will haveturn-out'--that is, achieve proper ballet position) and Merce Cunningham in the late1950s and early 1960s, cofounded the Judson Dance Theater in 1962 (dancing withTrisha Brown, Steve Paxton, David Gordon, and Lucinda Childs), hobnobbed with NewYork artists including Robert Rauschenberg, Robert Morris (her lover and partner forseveral years), and Yoko Ono, and became involved with feminist and anti-war causesin the 1970s and 1980s. Rainer writes about how she constructed herdances--including The Mind Is a Muscle and its famous section, Trio A, as well asthe recent After Many a Summer Dies the Swan--and about turning from dance to filmand back to dance. And she writes about meeting her longtime partner Martha Geverand discovering the pleasures of domestic life.The mosaic-like construction ofFeelings Are Facts recalls the composition-by-juxtaposition of Rainer's work in filmand dance, displaying prismatic variations from what she calls her 'reckless past'for our amazement and appreciation. Memoir by the avant-garde dancer, choreographer, and filmmaker recounting her childhood years, sexual misadventures, and artistic explorations. wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector. Book is signed by previous owner. Book is out of square.…
