Trisha Brown Dance Company

One of the most acclaimed and influential choreographers and dancers of her time, Trisha Brown’s groundbreaking work forever changed the landscape of art. With the founding of the Trisha Brown Dance Company in 1970, Brown set off on her own distinctive path of artistic investigation and ceaseless experimentation, which extended for forty years.

The Trisha Brown Dance Company continues to perpetuate Brown’s legacy through several different initiatives. With Trisha Brown: In Plain Site initiative, the company draws on Brown’s model for reinvigorating her choreography through its re-siting in relation to new contexts that include outdoor sites, and museum settings and collections. The company is also involved in an ongoing process of reconstructing and remounting major works that Brown created for the proscenium stage between 1979 and 2011. In addition, the company continues its work to consolidate Trisha Brown’s artistic legacy through their management of her archives, which record her meticulous creative process over many decades.  Alongside these initiatives, the company has begun commissioning new works to be set on the company. This shift in programming seeks to honor Trisha's groundbreaking spirit of innovations by placing Trisha's choreography in direct dialogue with a new generation of artists.
