Dancing on the Edge
Saturday July 18, 2009
Rated: NR
Contemporary Dance Fort Worth presents Dancing on the Edge: My Years with Cunningham and Farber as part of its 6th Annual Modern Dance Festival.
Choreographer, dancer, teacher and author Jeff Slayton will share insights from his career, highlighting his many years with Viola Farber (both as a company member and former spouse), his tenure with Merce Cunningham, and the influences of working with them on his own choreography. A short video screening of a tribute to Viola will be featured, and Slayton will autograph copies of his book “The Prickly Rose: A Biography of Viola Farber”, which will be available for purchase. The book includes photographs from a performance residency featuring Farber’s “Brazos River” at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth in 1976.
Slayton has taught and choreographed throughout the U.S., Europe and South America, and was on the faculty at California State University, Long Beach for twenty-one years. He is also working on two new dance books.
Location: The Modern Art Museum Auditorium
