Trisha Brown Dance Company Summer Intensive: July 15-26, 2013
New York City Center

The 2013 Summer Intensive is designed to explore the process and forms inherent in Trisha Brown's body of work. In addition to a focus on technique and repertory, classes will specifically engage with Brown's rich archive of multidisciplinary work to uncover new outlets and help students accomplish individual creative goals. Particular attention will be paid to the development of movement vocabulary into phrase material. The sessions will offer students a deeper knowledge of technical movement principles, compositional structure, and improvisation. This will be achieved through classes, video showings, written materials and an in-studio showing at the end of each week. The Summer Intensive is geared toward professional/advanced dancers ages 17+.
