Time is Money
Dance as agitational propaganda during the Depression era in the USA
Year of production
2011
Year of creation
1934
Jane Dudley choreographed her modernist masterpiece, “Time is Money” in 1934. It was performed at the time in union halls or on concert stages. Dudley chose to use the eponymous poem by Communist writer Sol Funeroff, both as an inspiration and as a sound accompaniment for the dance.
While the play clearly evokes a denunciation of the oppression of the worker during the American Great Depression, it is also the representation of
intertwined relationships between the politicized artists of the time.
