While Trisha Browns uncontested legacy as a choreographic maverick and the grande dame of postmodern dance will live on for future generations, her company will soon be disbanding and its 40-year relationship with the Walker will no longer include staged works. Dont miss the chance to catch highlights from Browns catalogue of iconic works made for the stage on the companys must-see final tour, Wednesday-Saturday, March 1215, 8 pm in the Walker Art Centers William and Nadine McGuire Theater.
The retrospective includes Im going to toss my armsif you catch them theyre yours (2011; live music by Alvin Curran), the final work of Browns career; the beloved Set and Reset (1983; music by Laurie Anderson), with relaxed, playful choreography accented by black-and-white design and costumes by Robert Rauschenberg; If you couldnt see me (1994; music and visual presentation by Rauschenberg), a seductively beautiful female solo never before performed in the Twin Cities; and Astral Convertible (1989; music by John Cage), featuring an interactive sound and light set by Rauschenberg.
