Wendy Perron Papers |
| Dates [inclusive]: |
1973-2001 |
| Abstract: |
Perron wrote reviews for The Soho Weekly News and focused on a range of experimental performance practices that flourished in New
York during the late 1970s. Being knowledgeable of the historical circumstances under
which experimental "performance art" emerged in New York, she was among the earliest
critics to write about this then new genre combining thick description and critical
analysis. This collection consists of clippings of articles Perron wrote for The Soho Weekly News from 1976-1978, as well as programs, flyers, and other ephemera from dance performances
in the 1970s-1980s.
