Retracing Steps: American Dance Since Postmodernism takes a closer look at the new wave of dance burgeoning in the late 1980's. While many of the choreographers followed in the film avoid being characterized by a specific movement, the artists share a love for freedom of expression and the avant garde. Rejecting prior notions of dance and structure, daring choreographers such as Blondell Cummings, Bill T. Jones and Diane Martel create a unique performance art, working with sequences that merge sound, image, dialogue and movement. The nine choreographers featured in Retracing Steps eloquently illustrate the eclecticism found in American dance. Made in 1988, Retracing Steps mirrors the best of the New York dance scene.
