REPERTORY/ ACTIVE REPERTORY

Trisha Brown Dance Company and the Merce Cunningham Trust honor Robert Rauschenberg’s Centennial with an evening of dance featuring his iconic visual designs. Touring during the 25/26 and 26/27 Seasons, the program includes Trisha Brown’s Set and Reset, with music by Laurie Anderson, and Merce Cunningham’s rarely seen Travelogue, with music by John Cage. A landmark tribute to Rauschenberg’s lasting impact on both visual art and dance.

“The program offers a keyhole view into a time, long gone, when concert dance was near the starry center of some of the most exciting developments in American art.”
- Brian Seibert, The New York Times. Read the full feature here.

“Perfection in the park.” - Donald Hutera, The Times, London

Trisha Brown: In Plain Site pairs indoor and outdoor sites with select pieces from Brown’s repertory. Each work is restaged in a dynamic relationship to the setting, amplifying Trisha Brown’s effortless affinity for naturalizing movement to the physical environment.

Ever a resourceful and dexterous innovator, Brown “...said she felt sorry for spaces that weren’t centerstage - the ceiling, walls, corners, and wing space. Not to mention trees, lakes, and firehouses,” Wendy Perron wrote in Dance Magazine. “She caused a revolution by… turning to the spaces that other dance-makers don’t.” In parks, museums, and public squares, among other sites, audiences are engaged in the intimate, up-close experience of Brown’s choreography through specially chosen excerpts from the repertory.
