Rainer’s decades of creativity—in dance and in filmmaking—have inspired generations of avant-garde, political, and feminist choreographers.

With fifty prompts for improvisational movement (“39. Travel a long distance as fast as you can while making regular changes in your means of locomotion”), sly illustrations by Pascal Lemaître, and an illuminating interview with Phuon, this workbook makes Rainer’s friendly, humorous, and down-to-earth creative practice available to everyone. Because, as Rainer says, if you can move, you are a dancer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYale University Press,\u003cspan\u003e 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardcover, 176 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 x 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41231846408272,"sku":"9780300279283","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0035\/4502\/files\/Nevertheless_Rainer.jpg?v=1777155596","url":"https:\/\/mocastore.org\/products\/nevertheless-a-choreographic-workbook","provider":"MOCA Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
