Time
Manipulation in post-Modern dance
Manipulation of time and chronology on-stage can also be found
in experimental works of movement, texts and music developed
by Meredith Monk, Robert Wilson and other post-modernists. In
Monk's Education of the Girlchild, an ancient woman reverses
chronology as she moves very gradually to the front of the stage,
becoming younger with each step. Wilson's Deafman Glance
shows the same action on two stage areas, separated by a time
gap.
