There, a group of choreographers and dancers--including future well-known artists Twyla Tharp, Carolee Schneemann, Robert Morris, Trisha Brown, Yvonne Rainier, and others--created what came to be known as" postmodern dance."

In response to the way that the radical values informing their work are continually under attack from neoliberalism, these artists recognise that they...
