Anna Halprin (1920-2021)

Written By Operations MPD

MP+D mourns the loss of dance pioneer, Anna Halprin (1920-2021). Halprin was a seminal American dance figure of national and international renown and is one of MP+D's most researched subjects. Halprin's ground-breaking work in choreography and participatory performance is documented at MP+D through 65+ linear feet of archival materials and her many original dance scores. Last year, MP+D celebrated Halprin's 100th birthday with a virtual exhibit,"Anna at 100!". Earlier this year, MP+D presented a new virtual exhibit "Mapping Dance: The Scores of Anna Halprin", which features some of Halprin's iconic choreographic scores that are part of MP+D's permanent collection.
