It is with great sorrow that we share the news that artist Trisha Brown died on March 18, 2017 in San Antonio, Texas after a lengthy illness. One of the most acclaimed and influential choreographers and dancers of her time, Trisha's groundbreaking work forever changed the landscape of art.
When Trisha stepped down from the helm and designated
Carolyn Lucas and Dianne Madden as the Company's Co-Associate Artistic Directors, she affirmed her desire for the Company and her work to continue. It is with grateful hearts that we honor that wish.
Looking ahead to the coming months, we are pleased to share the Company's full schedule. This month TBDC performs Trisha Brown: In Plain Site at Cape Fear Community College in Wilmington, NC, April 20-21, and at Coker College in Hartsville, SC, April 25.
April 21-23, students at Bard College perform Foray Forêt, directed by Tara Lorenzen, and SUNY Purchase Dance Company performs Glacial Decoy, directed by Diane Madden with Leah Morrison, which the student company will present again at New York Live Arts, May 24-27.
Next month, the Company performs in
Dance Off The Grid
at the
Emelin Theater
on May 12, and we celebrate Trisha's life and work with our special guest, Babette Mangolte, at our Spring 2017 Gala on Monday, May 15.
