Making their Celebrity Series debut, Trisha Brown Dance Company brings a program spanning the visionary postmodern choreographer’s groundbreaking career—from her early explorations of movement to her later masterpieces. 

Glacial Decoy, Brown’s first work for a proscenium stage, is a mesmerizing fusion of dance and visual art. With a backdrop of Robert Rauschenberg’s dreamlike photographs, dancers shift across the stage, their precise yet abstract movements mesmerizing. "Son of Gone Fishin'" is a complex and intricate highlight from Brown's Unstable Molecular Structure cycle. Brown compared the emergence of patterns in the work to the ripples of a stone cast into water. Out of the most precise chaos, patterns emerge and recede in a kind of interference. In Rogues, two dancers engage in a loose yet deliberate game of mirroring and variation, their playful exchanges revealing Brown’s genius for structured spontaneity.

Fascinating, brilliant, witty: don’t miss Trisha Brown Dance Company’s debut on our stages!
