- Abstract
In an effort to diversify the cast in the remake, Rainer and Coates invited three performers of color, including Thomson, to participate. Yvonne Rainer I Parts of Some Sextets, 1965/2019 i (Lenz Press, 2023) In the prefatory program notes for Yvonne Rainer's I Parts of Some Sextets i (1965/2019), I Village Voice i dance critic Jill Johnston prepared audience members for what they might encounter: "Improvisation, indeterminacy, repetition, poetry, romance, games, objects, dance movement, non-dance movement, manic behavior, expansive behavior, "irresponsible noises"." This flexible, playful engagement with the archive chimes with Rainer's habitual practice, since her return to choreography in 1999, of "raiding her icebox", or appropriating fragments of earlier dances for new works.
