Judson Dance Theater:The Work Is Never Done (Exhibition & Performances)
MoMA
October 4 – February 3, 2019
The five-month long celebration of dance at the Judson Theatre continues with performance programs by Deborah Hay, David Gordon, Lucinda Childs, Steve Paxton and Trisha Brown’s “Moving-Image Installation.”  Organized by Ana Janevski and Thomas Lax, and on view only at The Museum of Modern Art (September 16-February 3, 2019), Judson Dance Theater explores the unique moment in the 1960s when a group of choreographers, visual artists, composers, and filmmakers made use of a local church to present ground-breaking cross-disciplinary performances. The history of Judson is a key part of New York City’s history, taking its name from the Judson Memorial Church in Greenwich Village where they presented performances; these artists challenged traditional understandings of choreography.”  Find out more here
