THE WASHINGTON POST PHOTOGRAPHY © SALLY COHN LUCINDA CHILDS Lucinda Childs began her career at the Judson Dance Theater In New York in 1963. Since forming her dance company ten years later, she has created over fifty works, both solo and ensemble. In 1976, she was featured in the landmark avant-garde opera Einstein on the Beach by Philip Glass and Robert Wilson, for which she won an Obie Award. She subsequently appeared in a number of Wilson’s productions, including I Was Sitting on My Patio This Guy Appeared I Thought I Was Hallucinating, Quartett, by Heiner Muller, Wilson and Glass’s opera White Raven, Wilson’s video project Video 50, and Maladie de la Mort by Marguerite Duras (opposite Michel Piccoli). Most recently, she appeared in Wilson’s production of Arvo Part’s Adam’s Passion and also recorded spoken text and collaborated on the choreography for Letter to a Man, which was based on Nijinsky’s diaries and performed by Mikhail Baryshnikov. In 1979 Childs choreographed one of her most enduring works, Dance, with music by Philip Glass and film décor by Sol LeWitt, which continues to tour internationally and has been added to the repertory of the Lyon Opera Ballet, for which she has choreographed Beethoven’s Grande Fugue. In 2015 she revived Available Light, created in 1983 with music by John Adams and a split-level set by Frank Gehry. It was presented at the Festival d’Automne in Paris and the Manchester International Festival. In 2016, in an exhibit titled “Nothing Personal,” her choreographic scores were shown at the Thaddeus Ropac Gallery in collaboration with the Centre Nationale de la Danse, to which she has donated her archive. Since 1981 Childs has choreographed over thirty works for major ballet companies, including the Paris Opera Ballet and Les Ballet de Monte Carlo. She has also directed and choreographed a number of contemporary and eighteenth-century operas, including Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice for the Los Angeles Opera, Mozart’s Zaide for La Monnaie in Brussels, Stravinsky’s Le Rossignol and Oedipe, Vivaldi’s Farnace, Handel’s Alessandro, and John Adams’s Dr. Atomic for the Opera du Rhin. Her production of Jean Baptiste Lully’s Atys premiered at Oper Kiel in 2014 and her production of Jean-Marie Leclaire’s Scylla and Glaucus premiered there in 2017. Childs is the recipient of numerous awards. She holds the rank of Commandeur in France’s Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and in 2017 she received the Golden Lion award from the Venice Biennale and the Samuel H. Scripps American Dance Festival award for lifetime achievement. In 2018, she was inducted into the Hall of Fame at the National Museum of Dance in Saratoga Springs, NY. PHILIP GLASS Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Philip Glass is a graduate of the University of Chicago and the Juilliard School. In the early 1960s, Glass spent two years of intensive study in Paris with Nadia Boulanger and, while there, earned money by transcribing Ravi Shankar’s Indian music into Western notation. By 1974, Glass had a number of innovative projects creating a large collection of new music for The Philip Glass Ensemble and for the Mabou Mines Theater Company. This period culminated in Music in Twelve Parts and the landmark opera Einstein on the Beach, for which he collaborated with Robert Wilson.

  • Spaces of Performance: by Rachel Meade Smith Considering Event, Agency and Routine1
    Spaces of performance: by rachel meade smith Considering Event, Agency and Routine1 This selection of entries threads together diverse takes on the space of performance, including notable mo- ments and individuals within traditional performance design (scenography), and spatial and social concepts related to diverse notions of “performativity.” The topic of performance is broadly defined in this work, encompassing interpretations relating to live arts, social and political performance. By putting in conver- sation these alternately explicit and implicit notions of performance, I propose that space and design are distinct actors in both traditional performance and the performance of everyday life and everyday agency. This proposition begs the question of how designers can implement performative thinking towards creating experiences of engagement, agency, and an interactive public life. I can take any empty space and call it a bare stage. A man walks across this empty space whilst someone else is watching him, and this is all that is needed for an act of theater to be engaged. —Peter Brook, The Empty Space PLOT(S) 014 issue 2 ADOLPHE APPIA Swiss scenographer Adolphe Appia is heralded as one of the first practitioners to critically consider design’s agency in staged performance. Rejecting the over- ly spectacular and 3D illusory sets that had dominated popular theater since the Renaissance, Appia proposed a modernist paradigm wherein design attended to the relation between actors’ movements, light, and sound, as opposed to the goal of realist representation. Working with famed compos- er Richard Wagner, Appia’s designs aligned with the ideal of gesamtkunstwerk, the total work of art.

  • An Historical Perspective on Lucinda Childs' Calico Mingling
    arts Article Towards an Embodied Abstraction: An Historical Perspective on Lucinda Childs’ Calico Mingling (1973) Lou Forster 1,2 1 Centre de Recherche sur les Arts et le Langage, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, 75006 Paris, France; [email protected] 2 Institut National D’histoire de L’art, 75002 Paris, France Abstract: In the 1970s, choreographer Lucinda Childs developed a reductive form of abstraction based on graphic representations of her dance material, walking, and a specific approach towards its embodiment. If her work has been described through the prism of minimalism, this case study on Calico Mingling (1973) proposes a different perspective. Based on newly available archival documents in Lucinda Childs’s papers, it traces how track drawing, the planimetric representation of path across the floor, intersected with minimalist aesthetics. On the other hand, it elucidates Childs’s distinctive use of literacy in order to embody abstraction. In this respect, the choreographer’s approach to both dance company and dance technique converge at different influences, in particular modernism and minimalism, two parallel histories which have been typically separated or opposed. Keywords: reading; abstraction; minimalism; technique; collaboration; embodiment; geometric abstraction; modernism 1. Introduction On the 7 December 1973, at the Whitney Museum of American Art, four women Citation: Forster, Lou. 2021. performed Calico Mingling, the latest group piece by Lucinda Childs.
