Dance With Camera

Against the backdrop of the histories of cinema, postmodern dance and performance art, Dance with Camera explores a crossover between artists and dancers who make choreography for the camera. Spanning seventy years of art and film, and featuring over thirty artists and filmmakers between its exhibition and screening program Dance with Camera proposes a rich history of art works in film, video, and still photography that exemplify the ways dance has compelled visual artists to record bodies moving in time and space. The accompanying fully illustrated catalog features an essay by the curator Jenelle Porter, along with contextual essays by Arlene Croce, Edwin Denby, and Yvonne Rainer, text by filmmaker Sidney Peterson and dancer Marian Van Tuyl, and interviews with Charles Atlas, Shirley Clarke, and Sharon Lockhart.
