About the event:
Border Crossings: Exile and American Modern Dance, 1900–1955 examines modern dance through an examination of war, exile, inequality, and injustice. The exhibition constructs a new narrative of 20th century modern dance performance with a fuller, more inclusive history focusing on the exiled and marginalized dancers that catalyzed modern dance.
Linda Murray, curator and director of the Jerome Robbins Dance Division at the Library for the Performing Arts, offers a tour of the exhibition, highlighting select objects and histories to present how modern dance came to be.
