Summary
Mikhail Baryshnikov and White Oak Dance Project perform Past Forward, a retrospective and celebration of Judson Dance. Live works alternate with video sequences filmed by Charles Atlas and narrated by Baryshnikov. Most performances are bracketed with a quick description by the choreographer. Public participation is part of the program: local dancers and community members take part in several works. Unusually, Volume I contains a performance of "Huddle" staged outside the auditorium and "Scramble" is shown twice. Audience members stand in the camera sight line during the curtain call in Volume III.
Volume I: Huddle (Simone Forti, choreographer) -- Scramble (Simone Forti, choreographer) Volume II: Chair (David Gordon, choreographer; John Philip Sousa, composer) -- Satisfyin Lover (Steve Paxton, choreographer) -- Flat (Steve Paxton, choreographer) -- Exit (Deborah Hay, choreographer; Samuel Barber, composer) -- Single Duet (Deborah Hay, choreographer; Jennifer Tipton, lighting designer; Morton Feldman, composer) Volume III: Huddle (Simone Forti, choreographer) -- Chair/Pillow (Yvonne Rainer, choreographer; Tina Turner, performer) -- Homemade (Trisha Brown, choreographer) -- Foray Forêt (Trisha Brown, choreographer; Spencer Brown, lighting designer; Robert Rauschenberg, costume designer) -- Trio A (Yvonne Rainer, choreographer; Chambers Brothers, performer) -- The Matter (David Gordon, choreographer; Ludwig Minkus, composer) -- Concerto (Lucinda Childs, choreographer; Eric Cornwell, lighting designer; Anne Masset, costume designer; Henryk Górecki, composer)
