Just posted: a new piece on the dance and choreographers' archive, The Estate Project, at Suite101, "The Estate Project: Choreographers Dealing with AIDS."
The Estate Project documents the careers of artists with AIDS. Uniquely, the choreographers' listings integrate dancers who support HIV-positive colleagues as well. The section of the site concerning dancers contains the most extensive information. It is a sad lineage from Rudolf Nureyev to (mostly) men in their 30s, many of whom died in the waning days of the twentieth century. There, too, you can find the works of several women choreographers who concerned themselves with making art about the victims of the epidemic, Heidi Latsky, Marguerite Pomerhn Derricks, and Ellen Webb among them.
