In the Steps of Trisha Brown | New Films on Dance
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA) Screening Room
(see times)
"Beautiful." - The New Yorker
Choreographer Trisha Brown revolutionized the world of contemporary dance. Her choreography emphasizes the relationship of bodies with gravity, a near-boneless-seeming fluidity, and working close to the ground. In this film, Brown’s formative 1979 work Glacial Decoy, with costumes and projected slides by Robert Rauschenberg, is coming to Paris where it will be performed by a new generation of dancers. Interspersed with fascinating, little-seen archival footage from original productions and of Brown herself in rehearsal, the film is both a testament to the value of teaching and studying art and dance, and a privileged look at the process of staging a major dance piece. (2017, 79 min, digital)
