Back to the Days of Painting With Dancing Feet

From the New York Times

"To hear the choreographer Deborah Hay talk, there is no overstating the connection between visual art and dance in New York in the 1960s, when the Judson Dance Theater movement was radically questioning the nature of performance.

“Year after year after year you would follow the openings, and the growth of an artist,” she recalled, ticking off names like Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt and Robert Morris. “I could feel myself being altered chemically by what it was that I was looking at.”

New Yorkers can see the results on Nov. 13, when a video of two of Ms. Hay’s pioneering 1968 dances will be shown for the first time during Performa 07, the second biennial festival of new visual art performance, which opens today. Performa seeks to rekindle connections between the arts through discussions, screenings and new work."
