Dear TBDC Family and Friends,
We write from Bard College, where the Company is in residence this week preparing for its fall tour of
Trisha Brown: In Plain Site.
This robust tour brings Trisha Brown's work to sites in Paris, Vienna, and Athens, before winding through the American South.
The Company's Education programs are equally busy this season, with dancers around the world delving into Trisha Brown's work! We are thrilled to enter the second year of our partnership with Bard College, and to continue offering open classes in New York City, brining more dancers closer to Trisha's work. Catch up on all these activities by reading our
Fall Education Newsletter
.
The season is also abuzz with news of our upcoming audition! We look forward to expanding the Company's award-winning group of dancers who are committed to sharing Trisha Brown's genius with audiences the world over.
Diane Madden & Carolyn Lucas

HOPE MOHR DANCE BRIDGE PROJECT
TEN ARTISTS RESPOND TO LOCUS

For two years, the Trisha Brown Dance Company has been collaborating with TBDC Alumna Hope Mohr in San Francisco, CA in the planning of this year's
Hope Mohr Dance Bridge Project: Ten Artists Respond to Locus
. For this project--a multidisciplinary exchange produced in association with Yerba Buena Center for the Arts--Diane Madden will travel to San Francisco, CA and lead three weeks of workshops to different groups of artists regarding Trisha Brown's iconic 1975 piece,
Locus
. The workshop will include material for the original work as a quartet, though the piece eventually become only a solo.
The residency begins with a public workshop for Bay Area dancers that focuses on learning movement material from Locus. The weekend concludes with Diane Madden casting four dancers to learn Locus Solo for performance.
Then, Hope Mohr Dance, in partnership with local curators, has commissioned a diverse group of ten artists to learn Locus (1975) and create new works in response.
HMD will present the ten premieres, along with a performance of Locus Solo by the four selected dancers, at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Forum, October 14-15. Trisha Brown Dance Company (TBDC) Associate Artistic Director Diane Madden will teach Locus to the ten participating artists as the basis for them to create new works in different disciplines.
Although Brown's work has inspired dancers and choreographers for decades, this project marks the first occasion where the Company's repertory will be taught with the intention of inspiring the creation of new works by artists from a variety of disciplines, including literary artists and musicians.
Curators and Commissioned Artists include (discipline and nominating curator in parentheses):
· Xandra Ibarra (performance art / nominated by Keith Hennessy)
· Affinity Project (theater / nominated by Erika Chong Shuch)
· Cheryl Leonard (new music / nominated by Pamela Z)
· Amy Foote (new music / nominated by Adam Fong)
· Peiling Kao (choreography / nominated by Dohee Lee)
· Gerald Casel (choreography / nominated by HMD)
· Tracy Taylor Grubbs (visual arts / nominated by HMD)
· Frances Richard (poetry / nominated by HMD)
· Gregory Dawson (choreography / nominated by YBCA)
· Laura Arrington (choreography / nominated by HMD)
