“Works by Brown don’t just challenge our perceptions; they expand our minds and untether our spirits.”—The Village Voice

Trisha Brown Dance Company returns to SummerScape as part of its farewell tour, presenting some of the final performances of Brown's legendary large-scale works.
The most widely acclaimed American choreographer of the postmodern era and the first female choreographer to receive the coveted MacArthur "genius" award, Trisha Brown's body of work challenged and changed the definition of dance over her 40-year career.
The program celebrates Brown's pioneering dance style with Set and Reset (1983), a collaboration with Robert Rauschenberg and Laurie Anderson; the exquisite solo If you couldn't see me (1994); and Brown's sublime final creation I'm going to toss my arms—if you catch them they're yours (2011).
With Brown retired from dance making, her company will no longer perform these stage works. Don't miss one of the final opportunities to experience the vision of this extraordinary artist in its best possible context.
