Trisha Brown - films & conference

Tuesday, Oct. 29 at Flux Laboratory, 8pm
Wednesday, Nov. 6 at Flux Laboratory, 6.30pm

Conference by Sarah Burkhalter (given in French, director of the French-speaking antenna of the Swiss Institute for Art Research SIK-ISEA)
Dancing at the Edge and on Paper. Architecture and Drawing in Trisha Brown's Work

"The audacity of Trisha Brown's choreography springs from her contact with architecture and drawing. By tipping over the usual scales and sites of dance, she has dealt new cards for feeling, performing, ordering, and watching movement. As radical in its conception as it is airborne in its practice, her work reveals the contrasts, but also the connections between the performing, the building, and the visual arts. Between dance and architecture, which one weighs in on the other? At the crossover of stage and paper, how does a stride become a tracing? Persisting from a first vertical piece like Planes (1968) to the cutout drawings of Eleven Incidents (2008), these questions invite us to follow the overlapping of body, place, and line in Trisha Brown's work"
The conference will be given in English on November 6!

Film projections
Tuesday, Oct. 29 at Flux Laboratory, after the conference

Trisha Brown Early Works (1966-1979)
Films and sequences shot by Babette Mangolte, Carlotta Schoolman and Jonathan Demme, from eighteen great performances by Brown.

Trisha and Carmen (1988), shot by Burt Barr
An exciting story around the 1987 production of Carmen, directed by Lina Wertmuller and choreographied by Trisha Brown, focusing on a central image: the sensual walk of Carmen towards her lover.

Aeros (1990), shot by Burt Barr
Two years of work and production in evolution: Convertible Astral by Trisha Brown (1989). The dynamics of the choreography appears organically, without the documentary imposing its voice.

The pieces presented from Brown's repertoire at the BFM are produced in partnership with Théâtre Forum Meyrin.
The Early Works at Pavillon Sicli are shown in collaboration with the Festival .perf, festival of performances.
