May 01 2008 Geneva, Handfall: Drawings Trisha Brown Trisha Brown Trisha Brown is one of the most innovative choreographers in contemporary dance, beginning with her early days as a founder of the Judson Dance Theater and continuing on with her twentieth-first century experiments using robots on stage (I love my robots). She founded her own company in 1970, creating since then numerous pieces of great range and complexity, exemplified by those that defied gravity (Man Walking Down the Side of a Building), collaborations with artists Robert Rauschenberg (Set/Reset) and Terry Winters (El Trilogy), works in opera (Monteverdi's L'Orfeo and Salvatore Sciarrino's Luci Mie Traditrici), and musical settings (Franz Schubert's Winterreise). In addition to her pure dance pieces, such as the recent Foray ForÈt, Brown also created O zlolony O composite, based on the poetry of Nobel Prize-winner Czeslaw Milosz, with the collaboration of visual artist Vija Celmins and composer Laurie Anderson. Another of her newer dances, how long does the subject linger on the edge of the volume … incorporates new digital technologies with the assistance of The OpenEnded Group. Brown has exhibited her work as a visual artist in galleries, museums, and at Documenta, and she continues her frequent collaborations with contemporary painters and sculptors in works staged in major opera houses and theatres on several continents. Among her many awards of distinction are the National Medal of Arts, MacArthur Fellowship, Commandeur dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, and the Benois de la Danse Prize for Lifetime Achievement.
