The Company’s Education and Outreach program includes worldwide workshops, master classes and lecture demonstrations. Selected works from Trisha Browns 40 years of repertory are licensed to educational institutions and professional companies worldwide and are regularly restaged on dance students and professional companies in the USA and abroad. TBDC will be partnering with Movement Research in 2018 to offer weekly company class at Eden’s Expressway in New York City, for the opportunity for the NYC dance community to take class with TBDC company members taught by company Alumni.
TBDC is in its third year of residence at Bard College, which includes a year-round teaching presence,
drawing inspiration from Brown’s collaborative processes that have been developed into dance technique, repertory and interdisciplinary courses offered through the undergraduate Dance & Film departments, and the Center for Curatorial Studies graduate program. In addition, Bard College hosts TBDC for an annual residency offering workshops, open rehearsal, lectures and culminates with a company performance season of current repertory.
This season TBDC further partners with several institutions of higher education worldwide, including New York University, Centre National de Danse Contemporaine, Angers (France) and Belgium’s professional training program P.A.R.T.S. Recent licensing and restaging projects include Stephen Petronio Company, Paris Opera Ballet, Candoco Dance Company, En- Knap Group, Pennsylvania Ballet, Ballet de Lorraine, and to Lyon Opera Ballet who have consistency licensed Trisha Brown repertory for over a decade.
NEW YORK CITY CLASSES
TBDC will be partnering with Movement Research in 2018 to offer weekly company class at Eden’s Expressway in New York City, for the opportunity for the NYC dance community to take class with TBDC company members taught by company Alumni.
Core principles of Brown’s work, whether aesthetic, compositional, or kinetic, are taught via the creative and physical practices of past and current TBDC dancers. Each teacher offers a unique focus and range of personal experience related to their understanding of Trisha’s choreographic sensibility, with the goal of empowering students in their artistic pursuits.
WINTER & SUMMER INTENSIVES
Intensives offer students a steady and deep learning of Brown’s style through both current and former company dancers. Classes focus on technique, repertory, and speci cally engaging with Brown’s rich archive of multidisciplinary work to uncover new creative outlets and help students accomplish individual creative goals. Each Intensive offers students tools to deepen their knowledge of technical principles, compositional structure, forms, improvisation and performance. This is achieved through classes, video showings, written materials and end-of-week showings.
RESET AND RESTAGING RESIDENCIES (EDUCATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL)
Brown’s philosophy of developing structure and form in in nite designs has become the cornerstone of the Company’s signature Reset projects, a name derived from Brown’s iconic Set and Reset (1983). Led by Company dancers and alumni, Reset Project participants rst learn the exact sequences from an original Brown work, and then engage in Brown’s unique choreographic protocol to generate their own variation of the original choreography. The Company also offers Restaging projects where the original choreography is transferred by a Reset and restaging residencies consistently take place around the world both as an education initiative and on the professional level.
