Lucinda Childs' DANCE

The Walker presents a return of a landmark minimalist dance work called Dance by Lucinda Childs, a work made in collaboration with composer Philip Glass and visual artist Sol LeWitt. The work, considered quite controversial when it was co-presented in Northrop in 1981, is now seen as a modern masterpiece-one of the purest examples of interdisciplinary art-making ever created. An exploration of musical movement, rhythm, and harmony, Dance is a bold statement on the very nature of movement. The massive-scaled, remarkable film component by LeWitt and the powerful, driving score by Glass combine to bring the beautiful neo-classical dance to a swelling conclusion. Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Sol LeWitt: 2D + 3D (Nov 18, 2010 - Apr 24, 2011) at the Walker.
