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 postmodernism'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 Johnston's entwined innovations and contributions to dance and art criticism and activism. She examines Johnston'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 Johnston's appearances as both dancer and audience member and her physical and often spectacular participation at feminist protests. By bringing together Johnston's criticism and activism, her writing and her physicality, Croft emphasizes the effect that the arts, particularly dance, had on Johnston's feminist thinking in the 1970s and traces lesbian feminism's roots in avant-garde art practice.
