Trisha Brown Dance Company: Dancing with Bob: Rauschenberg, Brown, and Cunningham Onstage

“Something inherently theatrical about Robert Rauschenberg’s talent … prompted him to his boldest and freshest conceptions when he worked onstage.” —New York Times

Few visual artists have shaped contemporary dance as profoundly as Robert Rauschenberg. Celebrating his centennial year, the Trisha Brown Dance Company pays tribute to the visionary artist through his collaborations with American dance vanguards Trisha Brown and Merce Cunningham. Audiences will experience two landmark works featuring Rauschenberg’s signature stage designs: Brown’s Set and Reset explores themes of visibility and invisibility, while Cunningham’s rarely performed Travelogue brims with humor and curiosity. Together, these works re-create a defining era in dance history.

Concurrently, the Walker spotlights its decades-long relationships with Brown and Rauschenberg in an exhibition featuring original costumes, set designs, and historical footage of Glacial Decoy (1979).
