This coming week Ballet de Lorraine premieres Trisha Brown’s Twelve Ton Rose (1996)!

Over the past many months, TBDC Alumni Kathleen Fisher, Trina Warren, Abigail Yager and Ming-Lung Yang have been restaging this 1996 work on the company. 

Discover the work March 2-6 at the Opéra national de Lorraine!

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.

On August 11, 2021, nominations were announced for the 37th Annual New York Dance and Performance Awards, The Bessies. Marc Crousillat's performance of Watermotor has earned a nomination for Outstanding Performer and Outstanding Revival. Huge congratulations to Marc, Associate Artistic Director Carolyn Lucas, and Filmmaker Daniel Madoff for their work bringing Watermotor to life this past spring!

"Crousillat, with his shaggy hair and powerful limbs, cuts an impressive figure as he brings his own sense of unruliness to the solo, which was inspired by imagery from Brown’s childhood. In it, he is impulsive — prancing, galloping and kicking a leg forward with force only to let it settle into its weight as it falls." - Gia Kourlas, The New York Times

Congratulations, not only, to all the nominees but to all artists who continued to create during the last year. Thank you to the Bessie committee for these nominations!

The award ceremony will be livestreamed on Monday, October 11, 2021, at 7:30PM EST. Reservations for the ceremony will be available starting September 20, through donation
