Trisha Brown Dance Company Summer Intensive
Monday-Friday, June 14-18 and 21-25, 2010
At New York City Center, Studio 4, Fourth Floor
TECHNIQUE CLASS: each class will explore fundamentals that are integral to understanding the range and detail of the Trisha Brown Dance Company movement style. Emphasis is placed on learning movement as the Company does: with attention to detail, spatial clarity, performance quality, and an awareness of dancing with others. Classes begin with a warm-up emphasizing the coordination of alignment, breath, and weight to bring space, direction, and flow of energy through the joints. Concepts emphasized in the warm-up will be applied works from different periods in the Company repertory.
WEEK ONE, JUNE 14-18
Morning Technique & Repertory: Glacial Decoy
with Shelley Senter
10:00am-1:00pm
For technique portion, see description above. Students will learn full-bodied phrase work from, Glacial Decoy (1979), Trisha Brown’s first work for the proscenium, which she has described as “about change—of direction, shape, velocity, mood, state. There are total, instantaneous shifts from one state to another. It’s unpredictable, unlikely, continuous, always going in an unexpected direction.”
Afternoon Technique & Repertory: M.O.
with Keith Thompson
2:00pm-5:00pm
For technique portion, see description above. This class will focus on M.O. (1995) set to Bach’s Musical Offering. Brown’s mission was to create the movement equivalent of Bach’s polyphonic techniques. She divided the body into two parts, upper and lower, and then recombined them in endless combinations, to, as Brown states, “locate both theme and counterpoint in one body”. Expect rich, challenging dancing.
WEEK TWO, JUNE 21-25
Morning Technique & Repertory: Set and Reset
with Cori Olinghouse
10:00am-1:00pm
For technique portion, see description above. This class will explore Set and Reset, TBDC’s signature work, which has been described as seductively fluid, unpredictably geometric, falling fast, slow and at odd angles. Anna Kisselgoff of The New York Times has said “ Set and Reset is unmistakably Miss Brown at her most tantalizing.”
Afternoon Technique & Repertory: Newark
with Stacy Spence
2:00pm-5:00pm
For technique portion, see description above. Concepts emphasized in the warm-up, such as use of weight, movement initiation, and spatial clarity will be applied to phrases from Newark (1987), a work from the Valiant cycle, in which Trisha was exploring what it means for dancers to approach their physical limits. In Brown’s words, Newark is “powerful, geometric dancing.”
Lunchtime Video Showings
1:30-2:00pm
There will be daily screenings of Trisha Brown Dance Company repertory.
Location and Directions: All classes take place at New York City Center, 130 West 56th Street, New York, NY. By subway take the N, Q, R to 57th Street/7th Avenue (+ W on weekdays only), F to 57th Street/6th Avenue, D, E to 7th Avenue/53rd Street (+ B weekdays only) A, B, C, D, 1 to 59th Street at Columbus Circle, C to 50th Street/8th Avenue, or 1 to 50th Street/7th Avenue.

TRISHA BROWN DANCE COMPANY 2010 WINTER INTENSIVE
Monday-Friday, January 4-8 (Mark Morris Studios)
"Trisha Brown is not a choreographer who invites the viewers to sit back and let the dancing wash over them."
~Anna Kisselgoff, New York Times, 1996
Technique Class: each class will explore fundamentals that are integral to understanding the range and detail of the Trisha Brown Dance Company movement style. Emphasis is placed on learning movement as the Company does: with attention to detail, spatial clarity, performance quality, and an awareness of dancing with others. Classes begin with a warm-up emphasizing the coordination of alignment, breath, and weight to bring space, direction, and flow of energy through the joints. Concepts emphasized in technique will be applied to a work from a different period in the Company repertory.
LOCATION: MARK MORRIS DANCE STUDIOS, Brooklyn, NY
Morning Technique & Repertory: For MG: The Movie
with Cori Olinghouse
10:00am-1:00pm
For technique portion, see description above. This class will explore the choreography For MG: The Movie (1991) from the Back to Zero cycle. Trisha, in her words, was exploring “breaking the rules of acceptable gesture, mystery, and sleight of body….One of the on-going metaphors in For MG… was time. Not metered time or measured time but stranger notions like the volume of time, past time, time peeling away.”
Afternoon Technique & Repertory: Twelve Ton Rose
with Mariah Maloney
2:00pm-5:00pm
For technique portion, see description above. In this class, students will learn complex, assymetrical phrase work from Twelve Ton Rose (1996), the second work in Brown’s Music cycle. Deborah Jowitt of the Village Voice said this after seeing the work: “I imagine dancing anyone else’s choreography after Brown’s would be hard. You’d feel like you’d gone from researching high-energy particles to taking freshman science.”
Lunchtime Video Showings
1:30-2:00pm
There will be daily screenings of Trisha Brown Dance Company repertory.

Teacher Biographies:
Mariah Maloney was a member of Trisha Brown Dance Company from 1995-2002. She performed as a featured soloist and ensemble dancer, creating original roles in Trisha Brown’s Music cycle as well performing the legendary works: Set and Reset, Newark, Astral Converted and For MG: The Movie, among others. For Mariah, the greatest pedagogical reward comes when she observes a student’s transformation and recognizes that her teaching methods and presence have helped facilitate the student’s growth and development. She focuses on breath and body awareness to help students develop proper alignment, full range of motion, greater coordination, and stability. Today she continues her relationship with TBDC by serving as an international guest artist and directing re-staging projects. In December 2008, The Columbia College Chicago Dance Center premiered Mariah’s re-staging of Set and Reset/Reset. Mariah’s choreography has been presented in New York at Judson Church, The Kitchen, St. Marks Church, BRIC Theater and The Brooklyn Museum. Maloney earned a BFA from Purchase College and a MFA from Hollins/ADF. Mariah is currently an assistant professor at The College at Brockport SUNY.
Cori Olinghouse danced with the Trisha Brown Dance Company from 2002 to 2006. She was an original cast member of how long does the subject linger on the edge of the volume...She also worked with Brown on O Zlozony /O Composite for the Paris Opera Ballet, which she later performed as a soloist at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow. Cori will finish her certification in the Alexander Technique in February 2010; her teaching is highly informed by this method. She teaches regularly at TBDC intensives and workshops, and has taught at Bennington College, Fordham University, Rutgers University, Hunter College, Sushi Visual and Performing Arts Gallery, London Contemporary Dance School, and Tseh Moscow Summer Dance School. She recently performed in Bill Irwin's The Happiness Lecture at the Philadelphia Theater Company. Her own work has been presented at Dixon Place, Bennington College, The Brooklyn Museum, The Flynn Center for the Performing Arts, Judson Church, Spoke the Hub, and the Movement Research Improvisation Festival. She is currently a Movement Research Artist-in-Residence.

program:
description:
Maramotti Collection will host a public meeting with Trisha Brown in conversation with Rossella Mazzaglia, professor at the DAMS – Bologna University (who has recently written an exhaustive monograph dedicated to Trisha Brown), and journalist and art critic Adriana Polveroni.
Focus of the meeting is the complex coreography by Trisha Brown that takes form as a continuous exploration of the space, not only for choosing non-traditional places to stage her dance, but also because of questioning the idea of space itself as an essential element of her work, which also involves the last theatrical production. A new scenario has literally opened, where coreography and the most advanced of figurative arts (Minimalism, Conceptual Art, Body Art and Performing Art) have interacted closely.
Free admission. Places are limited and advance booking is advisable.
