Witness another side of Robert Rauschenberg in Dancing with Bob: Rauschenberg, Brown & Cunningham Onstage, a tribute marking the centennial of this American iconoclast.
Rauschenberg is known for his visual art and sculptures, but he was also an avid cross-disciplinary collaborator—most frequently with choreographic legends Trisha Brown and Merce Cunningham.
Together, these three figures revolutionized dance, sound, and visual art.
Trisha Brown Dance Company and Merce Cunningham Trust join forces, presenting Brown’s Set and Reset, hailed by the New York Times as “unmistakably Miss Brown at her most tantalizing.”
Accompanied by Laurie Anderson’s bewitching electronic score, the choreography ripples with hypnotic, fluid energy.
Dive into Cunningham’s rarely seen comedic piece Travelogue, created with John Cage and Rauschenberg in 1977.
This vaudevillian pièce de résistance showcases dancers in playful, absurd exchanges—deadpan yet brilliantly expressive.
Quel plaisir de revisiter Beach Birds de Merce Cunningham (1991) avec les danseuses du Conservatoire de Lille !!
Merci à toutes pour votre travail, votre sérieux et votre capacité à vous projeter si rapidement dans un nouveau matériel chorégraphique.
Merci à Dominique Desessart pour l’invitation, à Isida Micani pour ta présence, et bien sûr au Merce Cunningham Trust, qui rend ces précieux échanges possibles.
Très heureux également aussi d’avoir travaillé avec les élèves de première année de l’ESMD à Roubaix — un grand bravo pour avoir relevé le défi d’intégrer technique, répertoire et pédagogie Cunningham… en une journée !
Join us for this One-Day workshop led by Kimberly Bartosik @kimberlybartosik_daela on Sunday April 19th from 1030AM-230PM! All levels are welcome!
Merce Cunningham's solo from "Second Hand" will be taught. This solo, originally made in 1944, was titled "Idyllic Song" and accompanied by music from Erik Satie. Cunningham later used it for the opening of his 1970 work, Second Hand." Unable to obtain permission for the Satie score for the larger work, Cage then composed music which he titled, "Cheap Imitation."
The cost of the workshop is $40.
