Hi there! I'm delighted that you're joining us today. In this episode, I interview documentary filmmaker, artist, and dancer Mary Trunk. We talk about the profound effect that the book Yvonne Rainer, Work 1961-73, has on Mary's artistic process, and how it gave her the courage to experiment early on in her development as an artist.  Along the way, we discuss: <ul> <li>Yvonne Rainer as a choreographer and multimedia artist</li> <li>How to read a book about dance</li> <li>New ways of thinking about art, as both a maker and an audience member</li> </ul> I hope you'll follow the show so that the next episode drops right into your feed.
