"For MG: The Movie is the second piece in a cycle of work called "Back to Zero." What I mean by zero is the simple elemental actions of the body. I entered this cycle through vocabulary, seeking gesture and motion through subconscious impulses. ---as pure as possible, and unedited by the all-pervasive judgmental mind." -Trisha Brown
The early version of this piece is called Lever Best. Lever Best was performed at Sadler's Wells 11/13-16 1991.
