Modern dance
Judson Dance Theater was an informal group of dancers who performed at the Judson Memorial Church in Greenwich Village, Manhattan New York City between 1962 and 1964. It grew out of a dance composition class taught by Robert Dunn, a musician who had studied with John Cage. The artists involved were "avant garde" experimentalists who rejected the confines of Modern dance practice and theory, inventing as they did the precepts of Postmodern dance.
