New York Dance Up Close: The Music of Trisha Brown's "Son of Gone Fishin'"

For in-depth features and news about New York dance, visit http://www.dance-enthusiast.com/ THE DANCE ENTHUSIAST goes behind the scenes with the hottest dance companies in New York City to share their stories. "Son of Gone Fishin'" was the first work that Trisha Brown created to work with a musical score...she had been adamant up to that point that dance and music exist separately. Robert Ashley was her composer. The Trisha Brown Company will perform at New York Live Arts. Dance Up Close, part of Engaging Dance Audiences, administered by Dance/USA and made possible with generous funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, is designed to bring online audiences closer to our New York dance community. Through short HD Videos combining rehearsal footage with interviews, audiences are offered an uncommon entry point to the behind the scenes of movement creation. They are able to see dancers and choreographers, intimately, as people they can relate to - not only abstract figures onstage.
