In the 1960s, the Judson Dance Theater, along with visual and avant-garde artists, began to liberate dance from its secondary role of reproducing life and interpreting texts. They placed the body at the core of performance, taking dance out of the theater and breaking down the invisible walls between performers and audiences. Subsequently, art galleries began inviting choreographers to create performances. In recent years, art galleries worldwide have forged closer ties with dance, with choreographers continuously pushing boundaries and collaborating across disciplines such as art and even science. This has enriched the forms of dance exhibitions in art galleries, challenging audiences while expanding the concepts and boundaries of dance within these spaces.
