In this landmark retrospective triptych, Trisha Brown’s peerless company performs Ballet (1968), one of Brown’s first experiments with rope walking, created two years before the iconic work Man Walking Down the Side of a Building (1970). Then, the Peter Zummo Ensemble performs Zummo’s original score for Working Title (1985), another of Brown’s early engagements with suspended bodies and a precursor to Lateral Pass (1985). The evening closes with Pamplona Stones (1974), a duet originally created and performed by Brown and collaborator Sylvia Palacios Whitman.
