Le Mouvement

Trisha Brown

The US-born, New York-based choreographer and dancer Trisha Brown (b. 1936) is one of the founding figures and pioneers of American post-modern dance, the historic Judson Dance Theater. She is particularly famous for taking this temporal art form out of the black box and into the street, not to mention onto rooftops, walls, and other unorthodox sites. Here she presents the work Drift, in which a group of dancers drift shoulder to shoulder at a quasi imperceptible angle down the street. Moving like a gentle human wall, this subtle performance lyrically upsets the productive, linear flow of a smoothly, functioning public space.
