REPERTORY/ Medicine Dance

Improvised floor work. "Brown’s vocalizing in Medicine Dance, which she has described as “anguished,” was doubtlessly influenced by her interest in cathartic, shamanistic rituals that she imaginatively embraced in her own coming of age." - Trisha Brown, Trisha Brown: Dance and Art in Dialogue, 1961-2001, Teicher, Hendel
