Hi to all.
I'm a music history professor at the University of Illinois, specializing
in the works of John Cage. In the first week of November, I am giving a
presentation on Cage's work with modern dancers for a conference. One of
these dancers, Marian van Tuyl, created a dance to a Cage work and entitled
her dance, "Horror Dream." In 1947/48, van Tuyl and Sidney Peterson made a
9-minute film of the same name (same dance/same music), trying to create a
genuine "collaboration" between film and dance.
I'd very much like to show part of this film at this conference. However,
the Anthology Film Archives doesn't have a copy; the Filmmaker's
Cooperative doesn't have one; Canyon Cinema doesn't have one. The NY
Public Library - Dance Division does have a copy, but it never leaves the
library. I will try the Museum of Modern Art tomorrow, but am already
skeptical.
Does anyone with experience in these kinds of rare art films have any
suggestions as to where else I might look? Please respond to me privately
(and ASAP!) at [log in to unmask]
Thanks very much!
