We are thrilled to share the news that longtime Board member Dorothy Lichtenstein has assumed the role of Board Chair and has generously contributed $600,000 to the Company to advance vital initiatives including the placement of the archive and the reconstruction of works such as Geometry of Quiet (2002) . Also, Jeanne Linnes has taken the role Board President, and brings to us her decades of leadership both in the non-profit sector and over twenty years as a TBDC Board Member.

Dancers around the world are engrossed in learning Trisha's work in workshops and classes near and far. Our July Summer Intensive brought dancers to New York City from across the United States and from five different countries to learn repertory selections from Newark (Niweweorce) (1987) and to study Trisha's improvisation and composition strategies. Instructors included TBDC dancers Tara Lorenzen and Samuel Wentz, as well as Associate Artistic Director Diane Madden.

 

July also brought Trisha's work to the west coast for the Summer Arts program through the California State University system, headquartered in Monterrey, California. For two weeks, participants worked with TBDC alums Eva Karczag and Lisa Kraus on material from Trisha Brown's Son of Gone Fishin' (1981). It is incredible to have Trisha's work being taught on both the east and west coasts, in rigorous programs for dancers who are eager to learn her work.

August is a time to prepare for our fall engagements in Vienna and Athens, as well as multiple venues in Paris, France. We are bringing Trisha Brown: In Plain Site to cities and campuses across the American south, due to the incredible touring support from the National Dance Project and New England Foundation for the Arts. We look forward to continuing to share Trisha's work with new audiences around the world.
