Trisha brown dance style video

These videos showcase a number of the events of Trisha Brown: In the New Body. All videos were made by the filmmaker Byron Karabatsos.

The event notes are provided by Lisa Kraus, Project Director.

“Much of this dance’s mystery comes from sections which are extremely subtle, extremely gentle, like what we see here. Getting the dancing to look that way, especially in lifts, takes precise placements and cooperation.

Neal Beasley’s direction helps the dancers find the most efficient pathways so they can exude that quality of ease, especially in complex partnering.”

“This whole-stage view of this classic gives a sense of its hurling weight and bold partnering.

Interestingly, works like this, with so much detail in the interactions flying by so fast, were particularly hard to convey on video, unlike works more concerned with pure geometries or more echoes across the stage. But nothing compares to Set and Reset for its incessant, daring propulsion.”
