Anna Halprin: Dance/Art Experiments
Assisted by Taira Restar

Anna Halprin has been working in the field of dance since the late
1930's creating revolutionary directions for the form and inspiring
fellow choreographers to take modern and post modern dance to new
dimensions:  from theatrical production, to teaching, to
improvisation, to celebrations of modern ritual and myth, to
environmental and street dance, to multi-cultural collaborations, and
dances fostering audience participation and creativity.  Among her
students were Trisha Brown, Simone Forti, Yvonne Rainer, Meredith
Monk, and Robert Morris.  Halprin pioneered what became known as
"postmodern dance," creating work that was key to unlocking the door
to experimentation in theater, music, happenings, and performance art.

"What are the possibilities for merging dance, art, and life?" In a
special hands-on lecture/workshop, students will learn about Ms.
Halprin's groundbreaking work in dance and education, then have the
opportunity to participate in the creation of a dance-art experiment.
The lecture will be followed by a workshop from 2-5 p.m. in the Roski
MFA Gallery. The workshop is open to USC fine arts and dance
students and others by special arrangement. Participants should bring
a lunch and a scarf, and wear comfortable shoes & clothing. Please
call 213.743.1804 for more information.

This event is co-sponsored by the USC Roski School of Fine Arts MFA
Program and the Dance program at the USC School of Theatre.
