The Dance Historian Is In with Wendy Perron [In Person and Streaming]

Dance historian and educator Wendy Perron discusses Pina Bausch’s years in New York from 1959-1961. Topics include her time as a student at Juilliard, the ensuing year when she chose to stay in New York, danced in the Metropolitan Opera Ballet and a piece by Paul Taylor, and collaborated with Paul Sanasardo and Donya Feuer. Perron will screen excerpts of the final spring concert at Juilliard in 1960, A Choreographer Comments by Antony Tudor, Seasons by La Meri and discuss how these experiences influenced her life’s work.
