Performer: Yvonne Rainer

FOCUS Dance returns to the Joyce Theater for a third seson; Yvonne Rainer and Urban Bush Women use art to ask tough questions of contemporary American society. 

The dancers of the Martha Graham Dance Company may have been doing the repertoire of Ms Graham since the company’s inception in 1926, but Wednesday night’s program – featuring the work of four other choreographers – was proof that these are remarkably versatile dancers, capable of interpreting myriad forms of modern dance assuredly.
