Restaging Trisha Brown & Merce Cunningham in Collaboration with Robert Rauschenberg
Presented in collaboration with the Stanley Museum of Art
A free conversation with artists and scholars reflecting on the restaging of historic collaborations between visual artist Robert Rauschenberg and choreographers Trisha Brown and Merce Cunningham—exploring the creative process, archival challenges, and the enduring influence of these groundbreaking works. The conversation will feature representatives of the Merce Cunningham Trust, Trisha Brown Dance Company, as well as UI faculty—Melinda Jean Myers and Tony Orrico—who danced for Trisha Brown and have restaged work to coincide with the company’s visit to Iowa City.
Free and open to the public.
