Choreographer Trisha Brown (1936-2017) revolutionized the world of contemporary dance. Now, her seminal 1979 work GIacial Decoy, with costumes and projected slides by the similarIy risk-taking artist Robert Rauschenberg, is coming to Paris, to be performed by a new generation of dancers. lN THE STEPS OF TRlSHA BROWN takes us behind the scenes in the weeks Ieading up to the first performance. Brown's work is so complex that it resists standard dance notation, so carrying on her Iegacy by teaching the surprising, chaIlenging piece to the dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet are choreographer Lisa Kraus, who helped create the original production of GlaciaI Decoy and danced in it, and Carolyn Lucas, the current Artistic Director of the Trisha Brown Dance Company. Interspersed with fascinating, little-seen archival footage from originaI productions and of Brown herself in rehearsal, lN THE STEPS OF TRlSHA BROWN is both a testament to the vaIue of teaching and studying art and dance, and a priviIeged look at the process of staging a major dance piece. |
