"It can be just as exciting and moving and powerful to see a dancer make one small, subtle movement—that can be just as electrifying as seeing someone do a giant grand jeté." -Cecily Campbell
Cecily, TBDC dancer and assistant rehearsal director, spoke to Dance Magazine about making subtle movements shine. ✨
Critic's Pick! A premiere by Judith Sánchez Ruíz goes its own way but, like Brown’s work, shows an active, questioning mind and a sensual physicality.
When Trisha Brown Dance Company associate artistic director Carolyn Lucas invited Judith Sánchez Ruíz to make a new work for the company, it was a historic first: Since its founding in 1970, it has only ever premiered works by Trisha Brown. Sánchez Ruíz was a standout dancer with the company from 2006 to 2009. She started her own troupe, JSR, in 2010 before going to Berlin to dance with Sasha Waltz & Guests. After three years, she left that group but stayed in Berlin to focus on her own choreography and teaching. Her commission, Let’s talk about bleeding, premieres May 2–7 at The Joyce Theater in New York City.
The Trisha Brown Dance Company branches out beyond its founder’s work with its first commission: Judith Sánchez Ruíz’s “Let’s Talk About Bleeding.”
Trisha Brown Dance Company commissioned TBDC alum Judith Sánches Ruíz to make a new work on the company. "Let's Talk About Bleeding," will premiere at the Joyce Theater in in the spring of 2023. This is the first time a work by a choreographer other than Trisha Brown will be presented by the company.
