Some dance and other things on the internet



I made this for EDAP last summer and thought I should post it here. It is in no way exhaustive, the world and the internet are very large places. The internet, however, is more easily searchable.

Some general goodness:
John Berger -Ways of Seeing


Ira Glass - from This American Life
On Taste: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hidvElQ0xE&feature=related (talking about radio and TV, but I think it applies)



Great Sites

Sarma - a great site of dance criticism from Europe
[It can be a bit tricky to find things, oddly. I’ve found stumbling around to be the way to go - just following curiosity (as in many things.) Here’s some that I’ve bookmarked:]
– Jeroen Peeters - Living together on Stage
[This lists the critics - if you click on the one you want, and then on “texts” you’ll get everything that’s on the site for that author. For example:]
[The letters on dramaturgy are particularly good.]

Artists:
Martha Graham (New York,  1894 –  1991)
Merce Cunningham (1919-2009) (New York)
Channels/Inserts
Yvonne Rainer (New York, Current- but most active as choreographer in 60's / 70's)

Pina Baush (Germany, 1940 – 2009)
Le Sacre Du Printemps (Wuppertal Dance Theater) 
Meg Stuart (Brussels, Current)
Jerome Bel, (France, current)
huge amount of video of work and him talking about work: http://www.catalogueraisonne-jeromebel.com/ (kind like directors commentary)

some  hightlights:
About "Last Performance"
Sasha Waltz andd Guests (Berlin, Current)
