Scope & Content |
A film by Ruedi Gerber. Color and BW, 80 minutes. Description from DVD case: Breath Made Visible, directed by Ruedi Gerber, is the first feature film about the life and career of Anna Halprin, the American dance pioneer who has helped us redefine our notion of modern art with her belief in dance's power to teach, heal, and transform at all ages of life. This cinematic portrait blends recent interviews with counterparts such as the late Merce Cunningham, archival footage, including her establishment of the first multiracial dance company in the U.S., and excerpts of current performances such "Parades and Changes" at the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris, to weave a stunning, inspiring account of one of the most important cultural icons in modern dance. |
