We just published the brilliant choreographer Will Rawls piece on the multiple histories embodied by the German shepherd, whose curious past has inspired the appearance of foam-core dogs in many of Rawls recent dance performances. Rawls investigates presidential pets, Dogs for Defense, and Jim Crow-era peacekeeping, tracing the German shepherd as an ambivalent symbol for both wartime and domesticity. Theres Borges. And Bo Obama. And Rawls parents. And the one and only Rin Tin Tin! canopycanopycanopy/contents/dog_years
