Beginning with a warm-up to integrate the breath and full dimension of the body, movement exercises will focus on undoing places of tension and holding. Mapping the joints of the body will be emphasized to enable clear and efficient movement. The afternoon workshop will develop into learning a phrase of movement that encompasses quick qualitative shifts and complex points of initiation, taking selections from Trisha Brown's 40 years of repertory.
All participants must be 18 or older. Participants must take the full intensive.

On November 3, TBDC was pleased to host a book launch party for Susan Rosenberg at the home of Trisha Brown and Burt Barr. Following a warm introduction by TBDC Board Member Anne Livet, Rosenberg shared a brief presentation on Brown's
Locus
. Guests also enjoyed a performance of
Locus Solo,
by TBDC dancer Leah Ives, complementing and highlighting Rosenberg's research and insight.
"After years of deep research into the life and career of Trisha Brown, Susan Rosenberg has illuminated not only the major works of this most imaginative of postmodern choreographers, but the ideas that shaped them and the artistic climate to which they so greatly contributed. An amazing achievement." - Deborah Jowitt

Hope Mohr Dance's (HMD) Bridge Project: Ten Artists Respond to Locus assembled a diverse group of artists, pictured above, to create new works inspired by Brown's 1975 Locus. The premieres of these artists' works were the culmination of TBDC's month-long collaboration with Hope Mohr Dance, which included a workshop and lecture lead by TBDC Co-Associate Artistic Director Diane Madden.

Since the first time, in 1970, that a man (
Joseph Schlichter)
'walked' down the side of a building at 80 Wooster Street in New York City, Trisha
Brown's
Man Walking Down the Side of a Building has never ceased to amaze audiences worldwide. Take a moment to watch two recordings of this timeless work: a restoration of the original 1970 film, side-by-side a recording of
BANDALOOP's 2016 performance at
Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain in Paris, France.
