CAP UCLA brings dance performances to museums across Los Angeles
Site-inspired performances reframe modern dance icon Trisha Brown’s explorations
In collaboration with the Trisha Brown Dance Company and numerous L.A. area museum and gallery spaces, the Center for the Art of Performance at UCLA has initiated a week-long series of intimate performances that enable audiences to experience the arc of Brown’s choreographies in a non-theatrical framework.
"The Center for the Art of Performance at UCLA is teaming up with museums throughout Los Angeles to present a series of performances by the internationally-renowned Trisha Brown Dance Company titled “Trisha Brown: In Plain Site Los Angeles.”
From Tuesday, March 7 to Sunday, March 12, the acclaimed New York dance company will perform selections from Brown’s rich archive in multiple venues including the Broad Museum, the Getty Center, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and Hauser Wirth and Schimmel. Performances are free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted.
The project is led by Brown’s longtime dancers and hand-chosen associate artistic directors Carolyn Lucas and Diane Madden. At each site, the company will mine and then recombine seminal choreographies from Brown’s groundbreaking repertoire dating from 1963 to 2011.
“Together with the Trisha Brown Dance Company we have created a mechanism that liberates Trisha Brown’s choreographies out of proscenium hall stages where most dance works are carried,” said Kristy Edmunds, CAP UCLA executive and artistic director." — Holly Wallace, Feb. 6, 2017
