"Brown has defined the cutting edge of American dance since her first experiments at the Judson Dance Theater in the '60s . . . "--Village Voice

An icon of contemporary dance, Trisha Brown has consistently pushed the limits of choreography, creating some of the most compelling and visually powerful work of the past four decades--from her roots in the experimental Judson Dance Theater Collective to her early site-specific dances that took place on rooftops and down walls to the fluid, precise movement of her more recent work. This evening of new and classic dances includes Foray Forêt, a signature work by the company originally commissioned by the Walker in 1991 (featuring the sounds of an invisible marching band), and Present Tense, a new work set to the music of John Cage. Brown’s latest, I love my robots, is "a work of irresistible charm and silliness" (New York Times) with a sweet and subtle score by Laurie Anderson. Copresented with Northrop Dance at the University of Minnesota.

The Walker Art Center's Dance Season is sponsored by Gray Plant Mooty. Additional support provided by Sage and John Cowles.

The Year of Trisha is made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts American Masterpiece: Dance Initiative, administered by the New England Foundation for the Arts. Additional support is provided by the National Endowment for the Arts and the University of Minnesota McKnight Arts and Humanities Endowment.
