Yvonne Rainer's Trio A at Tate Modern: 60th Anniversary Performance
Yvonne Rainer's seminal dance piece Trio A is being performed at Tate Modern's Turbine Hall on its 60th anniversary. The performance, which runs on a Friday afternoon, features three dancers moving in an idiosyncratic, hypnotic style that may be mistaken for Tai chi or drug-induced movement. The audience includes art school kids, babies, tourists, and passers-by, all watching for free. The work is described as beguiling and hypnotic, and viewing it feels like an enormous privilege.
