Description
Content Description from New York Times Archives (https://www.nytimes.com/1986/08/29/arts/tv-weekend-dances-by-david-gordon-on-alive-from-off-center.html) :
David Gordon takes the everyday and abstracts it into small jewels of dances. The dances are made of extremely plain yet emotionally laden moves and gestures, linked with a deceptive simplicity. The dancers are like flies, some plain, some exotic, in amber situations. There is a sense of that special terrain in a program about the post-Modernist choreographer, which will be presented on Sunday at 10:30 P.M. on Channel 13. The half-hour program, directed by Edward Steinberg, Mr. Gordon and Bob Muens and produced by KTCA-TV in Minneapolis-St. Paul, is part of the ''Alive From Off Center'' series.
Ephemera: text saved from original ephemera. Small clipping from program guide. Alive From Off Center. Two autobiographical dance duets by choreographer David Gordon are performed.
