Trisha Brown Technique and Repertory Workshop

This class will explore fundamentals that are integral to understanding the range and detail of Trisha Brown's movement style. Emphasis will be placed on learning movement as the Company does, with attention to detail, spatial clarity, performance quality, and dancing with others. Phrase material from Working Title (1985) will be taught by current cast-member and veteran company dancer, Patrick Needham.

This workshop is suitable for participants 15 years and older, with some form of dance experience
