In 2021, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting the project Trisha Brown X 100, initiated by the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris and produced in collaboration with the Festival d’Automne à Paris et La Villette.
On November 30, 2019, the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris (CNSMDP) celebrated the centenary of Merce Cunningham's birth with a fitting tribute: over one hundred dancers from the school took over the Grande Halle de La Villette to create a new “Event”, echoing the series of unique performances which became one of the choreographer's trademarks.
This year, the CNSMDP wished to honor another major choreographer: Trisha Brown. A central figure in post-modern dance, Trisha Brown belongs to a generation of choreographers who revolutionized dance through a meticulous deconstruction of performance codes, making a decisive impact on the contemporary scene.
This exclusive combination of excerpts from her works, Trisha Brown x 100, performed on December 3 and 4, 2021, is an opportunity to discover or rediscover the broad spectrum of her work, as interpreted by a new generation of dancers, accompanied by CNSMDP musicians.
