Trisha Brown's Sololos (1976) and Watermotor (1978)

Trisha Brown, the most widely acclaimed choreographer to emerge from the post-modern era, first came to public notice when she began showing her work with the Judson Dance Theater in the 1960s. This experimental group united dancers with musicians, visual artists, writers, and filmmakers in the creation of performance works that sought to erase the distinction between art and daily life. After founding her company in 1970, Brown continued pushing the limits of movement and creating works for alternative spaces (including rooftops and walls) and soon began exploring more complex movements within traditional settings. Here are two pieces choreographed by Brown. The first is Sololos, performed by Brown and Wendy Perron. The second is Watermotor, a solo by Brown. Neither piece is set to music.
