In these years, as the art world turned toward minimalism, Rainer and her Judson Dance Theater colleagues were engaged in a parallel, and equally radical, redefinition of dance. Stripping dance of its pomp and self-serious virtuosity, they created what dancer and choreographer Pat Catterson has called “the people’s dance.” Or, as Rainer put it, instead of the “overblown plot” of traditional dance, she explored the “obvious” alternative: “stand, walk, run, eat, carry bricks, show movies, or move and be moved by some \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ething\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e other than oneself.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eWork 1961–73\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e chronicles the years when Rainer found herself and her work at the heart of a revolution in dance, performance and art.
