Ann Halprin and Robert Dunn at Autres Pas Colloquium in Montreal
The annual Autres Pas colloquium in Montreal featured two major figures of contemporary dance: Robert Dunn and Ann Halprin. Halprin, who has long taught her philosophy of the body and action, rejects causalism and views the body as a zone of experience linked to both imagination and biology. She also advocates for breaking the hierarchy between the body and what we characterize as the mental.
