During Revelations, we felt the dance as #AlvinAiley intended: “sometimes sorrowful, sometimes jubilant, but always hopeful”

Involved with video since the early 1970s, Susan Mogul is a pioneer of the medium. Initially producing an influential series of humorous and staunchly feminist performance videos, her practice has expanded to more experimental forms of narrative and documentary.
