Description

"Urban and Tribal Dances," choreographed for Los Angeles Choreographers and Dancers. Video is edited from the performances at each of the three theaters between 1990 and 1992. "Batida," "Alone," and "Together," premiered in 1990 at the Keck Theatre, "War," and "Remembrance" premiered in 1991 at the Bing Theatre at the University of Southern California (USC), and "Wedding" premiered in Glendale, California at the Brand Art Center in 1992. The first and last dances reveal an ever-present communal or tribal theme that lies below the surface. “Alone” is just the opposite, bleak and isolated. Although choreographed in 1990, it foreshadows our dependence on our phones, but at this time by the attached line. When it breaks, the dancer is deaf and blind. “Wedding” views the familiar rite of passage from the wedding party members various points of references. “War” draws on warriors from many times, and was inspired by Desert Storm, which in many ways translated as entertainment on television. Not much was shown of the many who suffered and died during the war. Not much has changed about the physical combat since 1991. “Remembrance” was also used with some changes in Reichlin’s 1995-98 “The Email Dances” used within as both a solo and duet with Reichlin. It was again used in THE BAGGAGE PROJECT with digital art by Audri Phillips.

Title Dance Heritage Video Archive

Description With generous support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation (https://mellon.org/), the USC Libraries (https://libraries.usc.edu) and the USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance (https://kaufman.usc.edu) created the Dance History Video Archive (DHVA) collection. The collection preserves culturally significant recordings that document global and U.S. dance traditions, creative work by outstanding choreographers and performers, and performances that helped to advance the art form.

The DHVA collection continues the work begun by the Dance Heritage Coalition’s Dance Preservation and Digitization Project to address the challenges faced by dance artists, choreographers, performers, and companies in preserving a record of their work and helping to share it as broadly as possible with global and U.S. audiences and scholars.

Over a 15-year period, the Dance Heritage Coalition assembled more than 1,200 important dance performances digitized at hubs in New York, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. Thanks to generous support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, those recordings were migrated to their new permanent home in the USC Digital Library during the summer of 2018.

The USC Libraries will make the DHVA collection available as broadly as reasonably possible within contractual and legal limits for educational research, study, and teaching.

The collection includes video recordings with certain rights restrictions that require limited access. To inquire about gaining access to these materials, contact (dhva@usc.edu) dance preservation and digital projects librarian Javier Garibay.

In the coming years, the USC Libraries and the USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance will continue to build and enhance the features of this culturally significant digital collection documenting the artistry and diversity of human movement traditions.
