Tricia Brown Dance Company, Roof Piece
June 9, 2011 to June 11, 2011
Rooftops surrounding the southern end of the High Line, between West 13th and Gansevoort Streets.
, Manhattan
Please note: This is a past exhibit that is no longer installed in the park.
Description:
Performances are June 9 at 7:00 p.m.; June 10 at 7:00 p.m.; June 11 at 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m..
Friends of the High Line is pleased to present Trisha Brown Dance Company's recreation of Roof Piece on the 40th anniversary of its creation. In this work, ten dancers stationed on rooftops mimic each other's movements in an improvised and mutable series of movements. The piece will be recreated on roofs surrounding the southern end of the High Line, so that park visitors will be encircled by the performance as it unfolds. These performances are free and open to the public, and do not require any reservations in advance.
After forming her own dance company in 1970, many of Trisha Brown's early works used the terrain of her adoptive Soho. These works were presented in non-traditional settings, outside of theaters, such as on roof tops and the sides of buildings. Roof Piece was first performed in 1971, in and around Wooster and Lafayette Streets.
Each performance lasts 20 - 30 minutes.
