REPERTORY/ La Chanteuse, Falling Solo with Singing, Part of a Target
A solo in which Brown took the fourth position -- a ballet pose with legs and arms in opposition -- and then proceeded to fall over, “dead weights, like a tree cut down” while saying “oh-no.” - Trisha Brown: Dance and Art in Dialogue, 1961-2001, Teicher, Hendel
