REPERTORY/ Duetude

“The first section of ‘Duetude’ is devoted to defining the perimeters of the room, the second to performing two simultaneous phrases of movement.  In the third part, Brown has stationed one dancer and the other across the room; both dancers will do the same movements, but Brown envisions that to watch them, spectators will have to move their heads as if they were following a tennis match.  The final section will move across and through the stage space, and Brown relates the entire dance to a 90-degree angle.” - Soho Weekly News June 20, 1976, Duncan, Kathy
