VENUE:

Wallis Center for the Performing Arts

Witness another side of Robert Rauschenberg in Dancing with Bob: Rauschenberg, Brown & Cunningham Onstage, a tribute marking the centennial of this American iconoclast. Rauschenberg is known for his graphic art and sculptures, but he was also an avid cross-disciplinary collaborator—most frequently with choreographic legends Trisha Brown and Merce Cunningham. Together, these three figures revolutionized dance, sound, and visual art.

Trisha Brown Dance Company and Merce Cunningham Trust join forces, presenting Brown’s Set and Reset, hailed by the New York Times as “unmistakably Miss Brown at her most tantalizing.” Accompanied by Laurie Anderson’s bewitching electronic score, the choreography ripples with hypnotic, fluid energy.

Dive into Cunningham’s rarely seen comedic piece Travelogue, created with John Cage and Rauschenberg in 1977. This vaudevillian pièce de résistance showcases dancers in playful, absurd exchanges—deadpan yet brilliantly expressive. 

Join us for this exhilarating retrospective on three artists whose synergy redefined creative expression.
