A reexamination of the role of female avant-gardes in the fields of performance and dance with documentary material on Valentine de Saint-Point, Marinetti, Futurism, Canudo, Russian Ballets, German and American expressionism. “Feminine Futures”, an exhibition curated by Adrien Sina, was staged for the Performa Biennial at the Italian Cultural Institute in New York in 2009. Structured around a unique personal collection, it included a significant number of previously unpublished pieces. The premises of modernity are challenged with new material, in particular the documentation of ephemeral actions which left few traces.
