A brief history of Bay Area dance

The late Bay Area choreographer Anna Halprin, who helped redefine dance in post-war America, liked to say that moving one’s body for whatever purpose – art, exercise, human connection – is fundamental to life.

“I’ve always said dance is the breath made visible, and that covers about everything because once you stop breathing and the breath is no longer visible, you stop moving,” Halprin said in the 2009 film about her life and career, “Breath Made Visible.”
