Summary

1. Interviews with twelve of the dancer-choreographers who participated in Tina Croll and James Cunningham's dance work From the horse's mouth at the Joyce SoHo, New York, in April 1998. Most of the interviewees relate how they began to dance and choreograph, and discuss their recent activities. In the longest interview, Viola Farber talks about studying at Black Mountain College with Lou Harrison, Katherine Litz, and Merce Cunningham, who later invited her to join his company. Ze'eva Cohen describes studying with Gertrud Kraus in Palestine, and working with Anna Sokolow. In discussing her transition from modern dance to ballet choreography, Kathryn Posin shares her impressions of the premiere of Episodes, with choreography by Martha Graham and George Balanchine. Tina Croll and James Cunningham, the creators of From the horse's mouth, describe its genesis and their experiences in working on the piece.
