In 2015 choreographer Lucinda Childs passed on three of her emblematic solos of the 1960s to Ruth Childs. This first artistic encounter led to the recreation of Pastime (1963), Carnation (1964) and Museum Piece (1965).

Two years after this first successful collaboration, Ruth Childs continues to bring to life the dances of her aunt through a second set of performances created in the 1970s: Particular Reel (1973), Calico Mingling (1973), Reclining Rondo (1975) and Katema (1978). In it we see three founding elements emerge of the creative method of the pioneer of postmodern dance: the use of a score, a trajectory in a space, and a rhythm imposed without music. This new programme concentrates on the aesthetic transition of the choreographer before the creation of her now famous show Dance in 1979.
