| book description |

Performer, activist, and writer Jill Johnston was a major queer presence in the history of dance and 1970s feminism. She was the first critic to identify postmodernismâ€™s arrival in American dance and was a fierce advocate for the importance of lesbians within feminism. In Jill Johnston in Motion, Clare Croft tracks Johnstonâ€™s entwined innovations and contributions to dance and art criticism and activism. She examines Johnstonâ€™s journalism and criticism-in particular her Village Voice columns published between 1960 and 1980-and her books of memoir and biography. At the same time, Croft attends to Johnstonâ€™s appearances as both dancer and audience member and her physical and often spectacular participation at feminist protests. By bringing together Johnstonâ€™s criticism and activism, her writing and her physicality, Croft emphasizes the effect that the arts, particularly dance, had on Johnstonâ€™s feminist thinking in the 1970s and traces lesbian feminismâ€™s roots in avant-garde art practice.
