The 60s in New York was for art, very similar than 1920 in Paris when a big group of artists; choreographers, painters, writers and musicians reinvent their art forms and founded a new way to see and practice art. In 1962 in New York Yey Rainer, who participated in the movement of 1920, whit a small group of experimental choreographers, founded de Judson Dance Theatre. This group was shaped not only by members related with dance; musicians, poets, visual artists, conceptual artist, and of course dancers and choreographers. This group was something like a community; they worked, travelled and lived together collaborating and influencing each other. The resolute was a big surprise, and changed the idea of art shows and the typical relation of artists and public.
One of the first ideas was extending visual art into performance and they created Pelican, their debut. It was an extraordinary show they mixed circus arts, acrobatics, whit music and dance. The next show was named Move: Chorographing You. This new show was presented at London’s Southbank Centre. This installation was created by William Forshyte and made its spectators become dancers, they too swing and clamber thought gymnast rings. It was a fascinating performance.
This movement was foundational in arts; planted a new concept between body and space, expression in art, relation between different areas of art and between public and artist.
