Tekla x Trisha Brown Dance Company

Earlier this month, Tekla Fabrics created a collection of pajamas inspired by Trisha's 1971 Roof Piece. We were thrilled to collaborate with them on the project, and infuse the improvisational score into the pajamas. 

TBDC Alumni Jamie Scott worked on set with model Lily McMenamy to provide movement direction. Additionally, TBDC was asked to create their own TikTok in and around New York City.

Trisha Brown x 100

On December 3 & 4, 2021, in a coproduction by La Villette and Festival d'Automne à Paris, around a hundred performers from the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris (CNSMDP) paid homage to Trisha Brown. Reconstituted in the form of a unique combination of extracts, and drawn from a repertory of over a hundred pieces, audiences were be given the opportunity to discover or rediscover a body of work, performed by a new generation of artists, which has lost none of its impact in today's world. In collaboration with the Trisha Brown Dance Company, the restaging was done by TBDC Alumni Kathleen Fisher and Dai Jian.

The hour long performance is available to stream through Arte, here.

Set and Reset: View from the Archive

Join us November 6th as we peer into Trisha Brown’s “Set and Reset” (1983). This lecture demonstration will expand our understanding of the interworking structures, thanks to newly available archival materials provided by the Trisha Brown Archives. Having been performed all over the world for nearly 40 years, we’ll uncover and share the moments that make up this seminal work. The evening will include a full studio performance of “Set and Reset,” and demonstrations of the various structures within it. Whether seeing this work for the first time, or for the hundredth time, this evening will offer insights and an intimate knowledge of Trisha’s process that will make you fall in love with this masterpiece all over again!

“Set and Reset: View from the Archive” will take place at 7:30pm at the Mark Morris Dance Center (MMDC), Duffy Studio, located at 3 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased through Eventbrite. Per MMDC guidelines, this event is for vaccinated individuals only.
