There are thousands of them going back to Loie Fuller and the many, many copycats from before 1900. However, there are several favorites including Ed Emswiller and Alwin Nikolais collaborations (with Gladys Bailin and others as dancers), Thomas Bouchard's work with Doris Humphrey, the original B&W version of Matha Graham's Lamentation from the 1930s (my apologies for not remembering the filmmaker, but it's my alltime favorite), Shirley Clarke's first short films, and many in the 1960s by Twyla Tharp, Meredith Monk, and Yvonne Rainer. One could call Norman McLaren's BEGONE DULL CARE and especially NEIGHBOURS as choreographed dances on film.
I'm said to say, my expertise ends around 1980 but the Dance Film Association would be the best place to go along with checking out the Film Society of Lincoln Center's Dance on Film series they program with the DFA and Joanna Ney. There's also the DFA's DANCE FILM AND VIDEO GUIDE, Judy Mitoma's ENVISIONING DANCE ON FILM AND VIDEO and the first one of its kind that's still excellent, John Mueller's guide to dance on film. -- Best regards, Dennis Doros Milestone Film & Video/Milliarium Zero PO Box 128 Harrington Park, NJ 07640 Phone: 201-767-3117 Fax: 201-767-3035 email: milefi...@gmail.com www.milestonefilms.com www.comebackafrica.com www.yougottomove.com www.ontheboweryfilm.com www.arayafilm.com www.exilesfilm.com www.wordisoutmovie.com www.killerofsheep.com <http://www.killerofsheep.com> AMIA Austin 2011: www.amianet.org Join "Milestone Film" on Facebook!
