The Trisha Brown Company at the Whitney Museum 1971 - The Rehearsal

Synopsis

Among the dancers I especially admired – probably the one I admired the most – was Trisha Brown, and she let me film the [March 30, 1971] rehearsal of her remarkable dance at the Whitney Museum. What I admired about her was her absolute courage, and this was shown by the concept and execution of her dance at the Whitney. Most dancers hesitate a little when they are called upon to do something which might involve a disconcerting accident, but Trisha always did whatever was called for without that moment of hesitation. – Walter Gutman
