Yvonne Rainer: Dance and Film

Tue 5 - Sun 10 October 2010
Tramway 1 and 4

Tramway presents a unique career survey of 
American icon of the avant-garde, Yvonne Rainer - 
originator of post-modern dance & leader of independent feature film.

Tramway presents the first major European career 
survey of the work of Yvonne Rainer across the 
two mediums with which she has been 
internationally influential: dance and film. With 
22 works, from four decades, the survey offers 
the opportunity to contemplate the career of an 
exemplary, radical artist who has consistently 
defied conformity, smashed glass ceilings and revolutionised art.
The survey includes: a full retrospective of her 
seven uncompromising feature films; an evening 
dedicated to her decisive, early short films; a 
Teach-In for creatives; two evening programmes of 
dance; a live lecture and a reading and book-signing event.

Friday 8 October is dedicated to her early 
revolutionary dance works including Rainer 
herself, at the age of 75, dancing her signature 
work, Trio A with an all female company, ranging 
in age from 30 to 60. Saturday 9 October is 
dedicated to her most recent choreographic works 
RoS Indexical (2007) and Spiraling Down (2008).

On Saturday 8 October, at noon, Rainer will 
demonstrate her life-long feminist credentials by 
reading from, and signing copies of her memoir 
Feelings are Facts, A Life (2006) at Glasgow Women's Library.
