Lucinda Childs is one of the foremost choreographers of our time. She was a member of the legendary Judson Dance Theater collective, which revolutionized the art of dance in 1960s New York, and her work has made a lasting impact on the evolution of contemporary dance since the 1970s.

Inspired by the compositions of Philip Glass, Hildur Guðnadóttir and Johann Sebastian Bach, Four New Works is a showcase of her latest creations, presented together with the Lucinda Childs Dance Company, video artist Anri Sala and pianist Anton Batagov, while also featuring a 1965 solo danced by the iconic choreographer herself.
