Trisha Brown Dance Company will showcase the works of iconic 20th-century artists in an evening of dance featuring Rauschenberg’s visual designs, including Brown’s Set and Reset and Cunningham’s Travelogue, a comedic masterpiece rarely seen since 1979. 3 Epitaphs by Paul Taylor features a parade of faceless, gray-leotarded dancers set to early New Orleans jazz, creating a humorous yet brilliant exploration of posture and gesture. In Tracer, Paul Taylor combines refined elegance with simplicity, while Rauschenberg’s spinning bicycle wheel adds an amusing touch of anti-utilitarian art. The piece is an austere, experimental work where movement unfolds independently of the wheel’s presence, showcasing a playful yet thoughtful blend of gesture and décor.
