Trisha Brown Dance Company has presented the work of its renowned artistic director for over 40 years. Founded in 1970 when Trisha Brown branched out from the experimental Judson Dance Theater to work with her own group of dancers, TBDC offered its first performances at alternative sites in ManhattanÂ’s SoHo. Today, the Company is regularly seen in the landmark opera houses of New York, Paris, London, and around the world. The repertory has grown from solos and small group pieces to include major evening-length works and collaborations between Brown and renowned visual artists.
In conjunction with the exhibition Dance/Draw, the Company returns to Boston with a survey of works spanning their 40-year history. The Dance/Draw galleries will be open prior to the start of the performance, so visitors can experience BrownÂ’s work in the exhibition as well as the stage performance. Dance/Draw includes BrownÂ’s seminal work Floor of the Forest, performed at set times within the exhibition every week.
