REPERTORY/ Homemade

"I used my memory as a score. I gave myself the instruction to enact and distill a series of meaningful memories, preferably those that impact on identity.  Each memory-unit is “lived,” not performed, and the series put together without transitions that are likely to slur the beginning and end of each discreet unit.  The dance incorporates a film of itself by Robert Whitman.  A projector is mounted on the back of the performer and the film of the dance is projected onto the wall, floor, ceiling, and audience in synchronization with the “live” dance." - Trisha Brown, Trisha Brown: Dance and Art in Dialogue, 1961-2001, Teicher, Hendel
