Durational Performances Exploring Perspective

‘It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.’

Neil Armstrong

thislandlesshomehymnal:

Yvonne Rainer, “Some retrospective notes on a dance for 10 people and 12 mattresses called ‘Parts of Some Sextets,’ performed at the Wadsworth Athneum, Hartford, Connecticut, and the Judson Memorial Church, New York, in March, 1965,”

Day #3 [collective] decisions not to construct bunk beds means more exploration of the relationship between the performance and material of the mattress and the body…

In Room Service, performed in 1964 in Philadelphia, two dancers carried around a mattress, an object that would become a leitmotiv in Rainer’s future dance pieces: There was, she said, “something ludicrous and satisfying about lugging that bulking object around, removing it from the scene and re-introducing it. No stylisation needed. It seemed to be so self-contained an act as to require no artistic tampering or justification.” (3) Objects gave rise to specific efforts and movements in accordance with their size and weight. Just as important as the dancers, they were one of the potential paths to the “neutral doer” (4) that Rainer was seeking.
