“There are artists who with their work have been able to show us the world with new eyes. Like the impressionists have taught us to see light, and the futurists to feel velocity...Trisha Brown, has made us perceive the human body in a new light, an organic machine able to express through movement, even the simplest and nearly invisible, an entire universe of ideas...”
- Daniele Cassandro, Wired Magazine, Italy
The Company’s Education and Outreach program through a series of worldwide workshops, master classes, and lecture demonstrations welcome a new generation of dancers into the Trisha Brown canon. Dancers learn technique to “...increase physical sensation,and improve alignment in order to awaken movement’s freedom and range through heightened knowledge of the skeletal structure’s role in the function of the muscles... to insist on body-mind connectivity and patterned relationships between memory, emotion, and physical experience.” -Susan Rosenberg, Trisha Brown: Choreography as Visual Art.
Selected works from Trisha Browns 40 years of repertory are regularly licensed and restaged by educational institutions and professional companies worldwide.
TBDC finishes it’s three year residence at Bard College, which includes a year-round teaching presence, drawing inspiration from Brown’s collaborative processes that have been developed into dance technique, repertory and interdisciplinary courses offered through the undergraduate Dance & Film departments, and the Center for Curatorial Studies graduate program. In addition, Bard College hosts TBDC for an annual residency offering workshops, open rehearsal, lectures and culminates with a company performance season of current repertory.
This season TBDC further partners with several institutions of higher education worldwide, including New York University, Centre National de Danse Contemporaine, Angers (France) and Belgium’s professional training program P.A.R.T.S. Recent licensing and restaging projects include Stephen Petronio Company, Paris Opera Ballet, Candoco Dance Company, En-Knap Group, Pennsylvania Ballet, Ballet de Lorraine, and Lyon Opera Ballet, who have consistently licensed Trisha Brown repertory for over a decade.
