Straightforward piece on Anna Halprin...avant-garde dancer/choreographer. She came across very well as an intelligent, sensitive artist. Her works presented here were interesting...sometimes pretty out there.
The problem I have with this form is that it strikes me the same way as body-building...it's deeply narcissistic. There was footage of Anna as a little girl...you could almost hear her shouting...look at me! look at me! Abstract, interpretive dance may be satisfying to the performer but it misses me as an observer.
Still, this was well done.
