Dancing with Bob: Rauschenberg, Brown and Cunningham Onstage with special guest Paul Taylor Dance Company

Thursday, June 12 at 7:00 pm

Friday, June 13 at 7:30 pm *Post-Performance Discussion

Trisha Brown Dance Company will showcase the works of iconic 20th-century artists in an evening of dance featuring Rauschenberg’s visual designs, including Brown’s Set and Reset and Cunningham’s Travelogue, a comedic masterpiece rarely seen since 1979. 3 Epitaphs by Paul Taylor features a parade of faceless, gray-leotarded dancers set to early New Orleans jazz, creating a humorous yet brilliant exploration of posture and gesture. In Tracer, Paul Taylor combines refined elegance with simplicity, while Rauschenberg’s spinning bicycle wheel adds an amusing touch of anti-utilitarian art. The piece is an austere, experimental work where movement unfolds independently of the wheel’s presence, showcasing a playful yet thoughtful blend of gesture and décor.

Program: Set & Reset by Trisha Brown, 3 Epitaphs by Paul Taylor, Tracer by Paul Taylor, Travelogue by Merce Cunningham
