Notes

Wendy Perron on Trisha Brown ("Covering the Trisha Brown Ground"):
"If I wanted to do painting or dance I was on the border between the two up to the accumulaton pieces, which was when I really entered the world of dance." And i would say that, although those accululation pieces had a big impact (both Bill T. Jones and Ohad Naharin have used the accululation form), her real impact in dance has been the lush, river-with-tributaries vocabulary of movement that has replaced the whole concept of ballet's épaulement or modern dance's contraction and release. You now see echoes of her gurshing-water way of moving everywhere.
