JOIN TBDC ARCHIVE DIRECTOR
& FELLOW ALUMNA
Performance emerges through a collaborative history and is carried on through multiple avenues of exchange. In this expanded lecture demonstration, Olinghouse and Senter share their evolving practices around the archiving and transmission of Trisha Brown's artistic work, from two distinct vantage points.
Through her Archiving the Gesture lecture, Olinghouse maps Brown's interdisciplinary mind in movement, revealing the
kinds of documentation that have emerged to encapsulate Brown's elusive, improvisational approach to moving.
Through a series of improvisations, Senter adapts a selection of Brown's early works such as Locus, Group Primary Accumulation, and Glacial Decoy in an exploration of the body as an archive.
Newly restored video and film excerpts from the Trisha Brown Archive will be unveiled. Together, they re-imagine the concept of a performance archive, in a space between documentation and embodiment.

Trisha Brown Dance Company's collaboration with Hope Mohr Dance is in full swing!
-
-
a multidisciplinary exchange produced in association with Yerba Buena Center for the Arts--Diane Madden traveled to San Francisco, CA to lead three weeks of workshops to different groups of artists regarding Trisha Brown's iconic 1975 piece,
Locus
.
The residency began with a public workshop for Bay Area dancers that focused on learning movement material from Locus. The weekend concluded with Diane Madden casting four dancers to learn Locus Solo for performance.
Hope Mohr Dance (HMD), in partnership with local curators, has commissioned a diverse group of ten artists to learn Locus (1975) and create new works in response.
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)
