In the New York tri-state area, May is typically a bustling month for dance, and this year certainly lives up to that reputation!
On May 6 at the
92nd Street YMCA in New York City, students from
Tisch School of the Arts/New York University, Purchase College, and
Bard College, plus TBDC's
Leah Ives, all shared the stage to perform four of Trisha's most beloved works:
Set and Reset/Reset,
Glacial Decoy, Foray Forêt, and
Locus Solo.
Next week, the Company performs in
Dance Off The Grid on May 12
at the
Emelin Theater
in Mamaroneck, New York.
We are especially delighted to welcome our friends, patrons, and supporters to our
Spring Gala on Monday, May 15, in celebration of the life and work of Trisha Brown and special guest Babette Mangolte.
We hope you will join us!
Diane Madden & Carolyn Lucas
Associate Artistic Directors

It's still hard to believe that Trisha Brown, the postmodern visionary, is no longer in the world. She died in March; at least her dances survive. In this special presentation, Leah Ives performs Locus (1975), while excerpts from Glacial Decoy (1979), Set and Reset/Reset (1983 and 2017) and Foray Forêt (1990) will be danced by students from Purchase College, New York University and Bard College. Susan Rosenberg, the author of the newly released Trisha Brown: Choreography as Visual Art, will be on hand for a reading, discussion and book signing. A panel discussion featuring members and collaborators of the Trisha Brown Dance Company will follow.
