Keynote Discussion – Yvonne Rainer with John Greyson

Yvonne Rainer’s career in many ways runs parallel with the concerns that we expect to trace over the course of this four-day Congress. Trained as a dancer, Rainer moved into filmmaking in the 1970s and then further branched out into video and most recently back to choreography. Through these shifts, her work has retained a constant focus on formal experimentation, the expressive possibilities of the body and an ongoing engagement with political and feminist thought. In conversation with filmmaker John Greyson, Rainer will trace her work as it has developed over the years and reflect on what it means to move through one medium to another.

Open to non-registrants, $10 general, $5 students, Images Festival members.
