An essential company honors a vital artist in a program also featuring UI dancers.
In celebration of the centennial of iconoclastic American artist Robert Rauschenberg, the Trisha Brown Dance Company performs Dancing with Bob: Rauschenberg, Brown & Cunningham Onstage, featuring two masterpieces with sets and costumes designed by Rauschenberg. Beginning with Trisha Brown’s seminal work Set and Reset (1983) with music by Laurie Anderson, the program also features Merce Cunningham’s Travelogue (1977) with music by John Cage, which hasn’t been performed by a professional company since 1979. Student dancers from the University of Iowa’s Department of Dance will perform Brown’s Foray Forêt (1990).
Two University of Iowa faculty members—Melinda Jean Myers and Tony Orrico—are former members of the Trisha Brown Dance Company and will be key collaborators during the company’s time on campus.
