Brown’s early pieces were not easy, even for those committed to postmodern dance
TWO PEOPLE stand side by side, the edges of their feet pressed together. Grasping each other’s wrists, they lean out to arm’s length, their backs straight; thus joined, they take a tentative step, and then another. If one partner falls, the other hauls them back up, keeping their feet in contact all the while. In Trisha Brown’s film, shot on Wooster Street in New York’s SoHo district in April 1970, the dancers evoke sailboats.
Born in 1936, Brown grew up in rural Washington state, where she had few playmates but was immersed in nature. She moved to New York in 1961 and her inaugural artwork—the first of more than 100 choreographies as well as six operas—was called “Trillium” , named after the wildflower which grew near her home and which she had tried endlessly as a child to transplant into her mother’s garden. .
Brown never wrote down her choreography, but she obsessively chronicled her works on film. Two years after her death in 2017, all the video has been digitised and it forms the basis of “Time, Space, Gravity”, a new solo show—her first in Britain—at Jupiter Artland, a sculpture park and exhibition space west of Edinburgh, Scotland, that opens with a new programme every summer. For Claire Feeley, the curator, the show feels very personal: “I trained as a mechanical engineer.
