In this talk, we will trace how Jean Erdman explored mythology itself as an embodied creative practice that could encompass dance, live performance, literary adaptation, and visual art, simultaneously. Utilizing archival materials related to the creation and performance of "The Coach," we will look at the work's genesis and consider its deeper thematic resonances, and see how the production offers us a new window into how death, grief, and the soul's journey through the underworld via the embodied mythological language of movement and choreography.
