"To make...Inside, I stood facing a wall in my studio at a distance of about twelve feet and beginning at the extreme left, I read the wall as a score while moving across the room to the far right. Any question that arose about the speed, shape, duration or quality of a move was determined by the visual information on the wall. An odd distribution of actions and gestures emanated from the architectural collection of alcove, door, peeling paint and pipes. After finishing the first wall, repositioned myself in the same way for the second wall and repeated the procedure, (then) for the third and fourth. Therefore, in performance, I moved along the edge of the room, facing out, on the kneecaps of the audience, who were placed in a rectangular seating formation duplicating the interior of my studio. I was marking the edge of the space, leaving the center of the room empty, the movement concretely specific to me, abstract to the audience. And I looked at them. I added the problem of looking at the audience, not “with meaning,” but with eyes open and seeing." - Trisha Brown, Trisha Brown: Dance and Art in Dialogue, 1961-2001, Teicher, Hendel
