Dune Dance (Carolyn Brown, U.S., 1980). “The elated, rough-and-tumble movement of the dancers improvising on sand has been beautifully and ironically juxtaposed with well-known ballet music…reveals more about the joy of dancing than anything you're likely to see.” (Deborah Jowitt, Village Voice) Conceived by former Cunningham dancer Carolyn Brown.
