minimalism

is this a warm up?

I dislike jumping into these conversations, but feel the need to clarify: this is not modern dance, it's post-modern. Yvonne Rainer is one of the key figures who helped initiate and develop this new philosophy (of saying "No" to glamour, to the climax, to narcissism, to technique, etc as delineated in her text, "No Manifesto") around dance in the 1960s. I believe she wanted to show us that even the pedestrian and the mundane could be considered as dance.

but was intended as a "clean-scrubbed" dance

Rainer's Trio A (1968) was not conceived as a feminist exercise per se
