James Waring (November 1, 1922 - December 2, 1975) was a dancer, choreographer, costume designer, theatre director, playwright, poet, and visual artist, based in New York City from 1949 until his death in 1975. He was a prolific choreographer and teacher.[2] He has been called "one of the most influential figures in the New York avant-garde in the late fifties and early sixties",[3] "one of dance's great eccentrics",[1] "a focal point for dance experimentation before the existence of the Judson Dance Theater",[4] and "the quintessential Greenwich Village choreographer in the late 1950s and 1960s".[5] Waring's collage style of building dance works influenced the development of the avant-garde Happenings which were staged in the late 1950s.[3]
According to Leslie Satin, although Waring was a seminal influence on modern and post-modern dance in New York City, his position in both the mainstream and the avant-garde was somewhat tentative, primarily because of the fluidity of Waring's style and the variety of his interests, which sometimes cut against the grain of both worlds.[6] His use of "low" material from the popular arts also worked against his reputation in both contexts.[7]
