Notes on the Yvonne Rainer times
- I told her she was very fit and that bikram yoga was very important to me. She told me she thought she was not flexible enough for Yoga (not true, no one is not flexible enough for yoga) and recounted her Martha Graham experience. When I asked her to reveal her routine, she told me she exercises about 40 minutes a day and it involves cardio machines and sometimes ankle weights.
- She told me my video was very youtubey. That made me sad.
- I mentioned a quote about the Cockettes that I thought related to her work about the rehearsal being the performance and vice versa. She said she had seen the Cockettes at the Palace Theater in San Francisco and that one of the performers looked like Jean Harlow with a beard.
