An extract remodelled by P.A.R.T.S. students back in 1996 (Brussels, Belgium).

The project
Remodelling an extract from Set and Reset (1983) is not merely learning steps in the spirit of Trisha Brown’s work. The aim is, alongside the danced phrases, to incorporate the composition process of the American choreographer while surfing on the rules of the game like “remain simple, play with visibility and invisibility, stay on the edge of the stage or act instinctively…”

For the group’s dancers, this challenge confronting improvisation and writing was one of the reasons for their choice. Lance Gries, transmit the keys of gestural production according to the self-named “abstraction locomotive”.

The choreographer
The American choreographer Trisha Brown (1936-2017), at the head of the Trisha Brown Dance Company since 1970, enjoyed an exceptional career starting in the 1960s. After a passage through post-modern performance and experimentation and then through pure writing for the theatre black box and opera staging, this woman of character also carved out a flexible and sharp-edged writing style with swing and complexity, which “uses democratically all parts of the body”. Collaborator with the visual artists Robert Rauschenberg and Donald Judd, she leaves behind her a key legacy, in which her vigorous imagination has never ceased to contaminate the new generations.
