As one of the most prolific choreographers of the past century, Trisha Brown has received international accolades for her undeniable footprint on the post-modern dance era. Her company will present a very special program celebrating Ms. Brown’s past and present, including her final piece of choreography, I’m going to toss my arms—if you catch them they’re yours (2011).With an original composition by Alvin Curran, this breathy work finds the flawless balance between complete abandonment and rigorous structure. Celebrated as one of Brown’s most famous works, Set and Reset (1983) is a beautifully fluid and seductive dance that explores fleeting visibility through the unpredictably geometric style that has become the hallmark of her work. The company will also perform If you couldn’t see me (1994), a solo originally choreographed by and for Ms. Brown, where the audience is captured by the willowy and graceful movement of the dancer’s torso and limbs while never seeing her face.
