Yvonne Rainer teaches Martha Graham (Richard Move) “Trio A” – (Excerpt)
Excerpt from ‘Rainer Variations’ by Charles Atlas. The Priestess of Post Modernism, Yvonne Rainer, attempts to teach her iconic ‘Trio A’ to the Mother of Modernism, Martha Graham (Richard Move).
About ‘Rainer Variations’ by Charles Atlas:
- "In the spring of 2002 I handed over to Charles Atlas a collection of films and videotapes in various formats that I had been accumulating with an eye to his editing them into what I call a "faux Rainer portrait" (though he may well call the final product something else).” – Yvonne Rainer.
- “For me,” Atlas explains, “Rainer Variations is a hybrid: a weave of impressionistic portrait, found footage construction, and video sampler. Aside from formal issues, Yvonne Rainer’s knotty process of thinking, her unique brand of humor, and her engaging presence are the things that were foremost in my mind as I worked on the tape.”
Production Year: 2002. Running Time: 41'30"
