“Established in 1970, the trisha brown company, inc. ("the company") is a post-modern dance company dedicated to performing and presenting the seminal work of trisha brown (1936-2017), and to enhancing public appreciation of her place in dance and visual history. The company presents brown's dances in a variety of spaces, indoors and out, proscenium and alternative; develops, deepens, and expands the company's educational initiatives; and treats the company's archive as a living organism to be used to better understand brown's work, in particular, and dance in general. In a career spanning six decades, brown created more than one hundred artistic works that challenged and changed the way we define dance. Brown developed her own dance vocabulary, combining pedestrian movement and gesture with intricate, athletic technique. She defied convention - and gravity - by choreographing works that sent dancers soaring across soho rooftops or literally walking down the side of a building, becoming an early proponent of site-specific work before bringing an equally experimental outlook to works for the stage. When brown retired in 2013, she named veteran company members carolyn lucas and diane madden as associate artistic directors; today, lucas maintains that role. Under her leadership, the company launched a diverse range of other artistic initiatives, including bringing brown's repertory to new audiences via licensing partnerships with other professional dance companies; expanding our educational programming; and placing the company's extensive archives with major cultural institutions, so that brown's work can continue to entertain and inspire new generations.”
