Description
At the age of 25, Yvonne Rainer took her first dance class; at the age of 28, she changed dance forever. Feelings Are Facts: The Life of Yvonne Rainer tells the story of postmodern dance maverick Yvonne Rainer. As a choreographer and filmmaker, Rainer has pushed the boundaries of America’s avant-garde for five decades. Over the course of her career, she revolutionized modern dance, was a performance art innovator, and radically changed experimental filmmaking – all during a time when the art world largely ignored women. Now 80, Rainer continues to make provocative works that push the boundaries of dance.

A poetic essay on feminine identity and perception; it is the other’s reflection upon us, the act of dissolving one’s self to the surrounding world.
