About the Show
Trisha Brown: In Plain Site disentangles Brown’s dances from the proscenium stage and resituates them in unexpected locations. For this site-specific program, selections from the repertory are restaged in dynamic relationship to their setting, expanding and amplifying Brown’s effortless affinity for naturalizing movement to the physical environment. Developed in close dialogue with the Gaillard, the program engages audiences with the full range of Brown’s artistry, reframed against the rich architectural and cultural backdrop of the Gibbes Museum of Art.
This is a free event; registration required.
Trisha Brown Dance Company will perform a repertory program at the Gaillard on November 7 at 7:30pm. Learn more here.
Audiences are invited to a panel discussion on November 5 at the Gibbes Museum of Art.
Support for this program is made possible by generous donors who have committed time and resources to the Charleston Gaillard Center’s Dance Initiative.
