Second Generation Pioneers
Post Modern Dance and Choreographers
Modern Dance in the 70s, 80s, and 90s
The
Second Generation of Pioneers in Modern Dance
truly took what Isadora Duncan, Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn
started, and popularized the form of dance. The world was
becoming much more aware of modern dance through these
artists, which includes Martha Graham.
We will look at the works of Pearl Primus, Alvin Ailey and Paul
Taylor in the world of 2ndgeneration modern dance pioneers.
Please refer to the attached Prezi for some important bullet
points on these artists.
Pearl Primus- brief video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGgQrjLORZ0
Primus:
Hard Time Blues
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qln_b-_OL8Q
Alvin Ailey truly popularized modern dance through his use of
classic movement with a modern bent based on the Lester
Horton technique, and his use of iconic images. The dancers in
his company are extraordinarily athletic and trained.
Alvin Ailey: Beyond the Steps – 2 brief excerpts from an Ailey
documentary

Esplanade Part 1/5, you are welcome to view the whole piece if
you are interested, you can find the other parts in the sidebar

wonderful use of space.

Modern Dance in the 70s, 80s, and 90s
Twyla Tharp:
Tharp: Hair – her work on the film of the musical, Hair- she
was lauded for infusing mostly pedestrian and gestural
movement into a modern dance sensibility
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb8luHdpR84
Tharp: Push Comes to Shove- Baryshnikov dances this Twyla
Tharp piece which really puts her on the map.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLj3sLxg4js
Tharp: In the Upper Room: Twyla uses Philip Glass music with
an interesting scenic element including a back curtain and
opening that was recessed so that it was not visible to the eye,
she used fog to give the impression that the dancers were
floating and appearing out of nowhere. They are wearing
sneakers and pajama-like costumes, which is a big departure
from anything that modern dancers were doing .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWnEGqf6eKc
Mark Morris
– one of the great modern dance artists of our time, his primary
artistic drive comes from choreographing works to great
classical music pieces- he has been called the Mozart of Modern
Dance. He aims to make the music visual.
One of Mark Morris’ most famous works: L’Allegro
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sG5rbiRADc
Mark Morris’ V- short excerpt:
http://danceinteractive.jacobspillow.org/mark-morris-dance-
group/v/
Bill T. Jones is a modern dance artist working with many
different ideas and subject matter, in his piece, Still/Here, he
workshops and works with patients that are terminally ill to
develop his piece about living with illness.

Journal Entries
Choose one work from a Second Generation Modern dance
pioneer (Paul Taylor or Alvin Ailey) and compare it with the
work of Merce Cunningham. What is similar, what is different?
How does Twyla Tharp’s work compare to Mark Morris’, how
do they use the music to highlight, accentuate (or NOT ) their
work.
Describe one thing that really spoke to you out of all the pieces
we have viewed in this week’s assignments and why.

  • 1. Second Generation Pioneers Post Modern Dance and Choreographers Modern Dance in the 70s, 80s, and 90s The Second Generation of Pioneers in Modern Dance truly took what Isadora Duncan, Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn started, and popularized the form of dance. The world was becoming much more aware of modern dance through these artists, which includes Martha Graham. We will look at the works of Pearl Primus, Alvin Ailey and Paul Taylor in the world of 2ndgeneration modern dance pioneers. Please refer to the attached Prezi for some important bullet points on these artists. Pearl Primus- brief video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGgQrjLORZ0 Primus: Hard Time Blues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qln_b-_OL8Q Alvin Ailey truly popularized modern dance through his use of classic movement with a modern bent based on the Lester Horton technique, and his use of iconic images. The dancers in his company are extraordinarily athletic and trained.

  • 4. Twyla Tharp: Tharp: Hair – her work on the film of the musical, Hair- she was lauded for infusing mostly pedestrian and gestural movement into a modern dance sensibility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb8luHdpR84 Tharp: Push Comes to Shove- Baryshnikov dances this Twyla Tharp piece which really puts her on the map. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLj3sLxg4js Tharp: In the Upper Room: Twyla uses Philip Glass music with an interesting scenic element including a back curtain and opening that was recessed so that it was not visible to the eye, she used fog to give the impression that the dancers were floating and appearing out of nowhere. They are wearing sneakers and pajama-like costumes, which is a big departure from anything that modern dancers were doing . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWnEGqf6eKc Mark Morris – one of the great modern dance artists of our time, his primary artistic drive comes from choreographing works to great classical music pieces- he has been called the Mozart of Modern Dance. He aims to make the music visual. One of Mark Morris’ most famous works: L’Allegro
