Movement Research partners with the Trisha Brown Dance Company to host the first weekly ongoing Company Class taught by a rotating cast of former and current company members.
Trisha Brown Dance Company class will begin with a warm-up to integrate the breath and full dimension of the body, movement exercises will focus on undoing places of tension and holding. Mapping the joints of the body will be emphasized to enable clear and efficient movement pathways in preparation for learning phrase material from Trisha Brown’s repertory, that encompasses quick qualitative shifts and complex points of initiation.
A 13-week-intensive programme (April 1 - June 30, 2019) with daily training sessions to develop awareness of the body (somatic approach) and to study the contemporary techniques and repertory of Trisha Brown, focusing specifically on the production of the project Set and Reset/Reset with TBDC current company members Amanda Kmett' Pendry, Cecily Campbell, Marc Crousillat, and Leah Ives.
In the final phase of the programme, the dancers will be involved in a new creation developed for them by choreographer Alessandro Sciarroni which, together with the final results of the project Set and Reset/Reset of the Trisha Brown Dance Company, will be presented to the public in a single event of the 13th International Festival of Contemporary Dance of La Biennale di Venezia.
