As part of Bryn Mawr College's ongoing retrospective, Trisha Brown: In the New Body, the Pennsylvania Ballet will perform Brown's O zlozony/O composite, bringing two Polish poems to life in a company premiere for the Ballet, which will become the first US ballet company to perform Brown's choreography. Combining the richness of Brown's most complex movement and partnering with the refined action of classical dance, the choreography was inspired by the poetry of Polish writer Czeslaw Milosz and Edna St. Vincent Millay, which is incorporated into Laurie Anderson's score. The work will be performed as part of the Ballet's Balanchine and Beyond series.
Trisha Brown: In the New Body charts three stages of Brown's prolific career, beginning with performances at The Barnes Foundation and continuing with performances at Bryn Mawr College, and these performances from the Pennsylvania Ballet.
Performance Schedule:
Thursday and Friday, June 9 and 10, 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, June 11, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.
Sunday, June 12, 2 p.m.
