Yvonne Rainer

Born: November 1934
Rainer is well known as a dancer/choreographer who said that "Anything is dance". Rainer also created a dance called Trio A, Trio A is one of Rainer’s most famous pieces of choreography and was initially part of a larger work entitled The Mind is a Muscle. Rainer’s minimalist aesthetic stripped dance of its drama and entertainment value in favor of presenting the body and its movements as objects. It can be performed as a solo or duet etc. and is performed by people of all ages, shapes, condition and so on. Trio is a very simple piece that is famous for it's very mono-toned movements, lack of technique and for the fact it looks improvised.
A famous quote from Yvonne Rainer is:

No to spectacle. No to virtuosity. No to transformations and magic and make-believe. No to the glamour and transcendency of the star image. No to the heroic. No to the anti-heroic. No to trash imagery. No to involvement of performer or spectator, No to style. No to camp. No to seduction of spectator by the wiles of the performer. No to eccentricity. No to moving or being moved.
