If you were to follow the footprints of TBDC in January, you would have traveled to New York, NY; London, England; Berlin, Germany; and Paris, France where the Company performed
Trisha Brown: In Plain Site or
Set and Reset. You would have also ventured to Brussels, Belgium; Annandale-on-Hudson, NY; and Hartsville, SC to participate in the Company's education programs.
Yet even more remarkable than our international travels were the TBDC dancers and teaching artists, spanning several generations, who communicated Trisha's work and technique with clarity and intention. From stages under hot lights, to open-air squares beneath a bed of clouds, each performance is unique to the location, to the dancers, to the audience, which makes Trisha's work all the more fulfilling.
Just a few days ago, the Company performed at
Brooklyn's Central Library as part of
A Night of Philosophy & Ideas. From our first performance at 8:00pm to the last performance at 6:30am the next morning, the library was brimming with spectators all gathered to pursue their curiosities and welcome dialogue. At the same time, across the Atlantic Ocean, the Company performed
Set and Reset in the Tanks at the
Tate Modern, as part of the
Robert Rauschenberg exhibition.

#SpeakingInDance: a new weekly visual exploration of dance.
To dance Glacial Decoy, the Paris Opera Ballet dancers had to undo what their training told them to do.
The treasure trove of delicious archival footage of Trisha.
From creating the movement to performance, clips of Brown with her dancers are scattered throughout the film. You feel like your understanding of her work is increasing at the same pace as the POB dancers being put through their paces in rehearsal.
...featuring some magnificent women from the earlier days of the company, including Iréne Hultman and Vicky Shick.
