Blending archival footage of performances, excerpts from her films and modern reinterpretations of Rainer’s most iconic works, the film takes a close look at an artist who changed the face of modern dance through politically and emotionally charged choreography.
Inspired by Merce Cunningham and John Cage, her revolutionary approach to movement and film went on to influence many. Now in her 80s, Rainer continues to collaborate with dancers and encourage experimentation within the medium.
