Wendy Perron is a dancer/choreographer turned writer/educator/historian. She danced with the Trisha Brown Company in the 1970s and choreographed more than forty works for her own group. The author of The Grand Union: Accidental Anarchists of Downtown Dance, 1970-1976, she has co-curated exhibits on the intersection of art and dance. She currently teaches dance history at Juilliard.
