Trisha Brown Repertory - Set and Reset/Reset

“Set and Reset” (1983), Trisha Brown’s ground-breaking dance is considered one of the most important works of the post-modern genre, and continues to be relevant today. In this workshop, participants will learn the original phrase material of the dance, then improvise with the rigorous choreographic principles that Brown employed when constructing it in1983, experiencing first-hand the inner workings of a masterpiece, testing the soundness of the choreography, and creating a unique version of a section of the piece SET AND RESET/RESET.
This class provides an excellent framework for applying principles of the Alexander Technique to movement, and for refining the organisation of the dancing body.
