[T]he book gradually unwinds as if written from muscle memory-the deeply felt knowledge that makes choreography look natural. --Catherine Damman Bookforum (6/1/2017 12:00:00 AM)

[T]he book gradually unwinds as if written from muscle memory-the deeply felt knowledge that makes choreography look natural. --Catherine Damman, Bookforum After years of deep research into the life and career of Trisha Brown, Susan Rosenberg has illuminated not only the major works of this most imaginative of postmodern choreographers, but the ideas that shaped them and the artistic climate to which they so greatly contributed. An amazing achievement. --Deborah Jowitt, author of Time and the Dancing Image After years of deep research into the life and career of Trisha Brown, Susan Rosenberg has illuminated not only the major works of this most imaginative of postmodern choreographers, but the ideas that shaped them and the artistic climate to which they so greatly contributed. An amazing achievement. --Deborah Jowitt, author of Time and the Dancing Image This is a thrilling, essential book and it confirms Trisha Brown's status as the major artist who transcends disciplinary boundaries and also illuminates a creative process that is unmatched in its rigor and beauty. --Sam Miller, Director, Institute for Curatorial Practice in Performance, Wesleyan University In this overarching, finely detailed book, Susan Rosenberg situates Trisha Brown's evanescent choreography among the painters and sculptors who were her muses and colleagues. An insightful and enlightening translator, Rosenberg connects the mercurial body to the incisive mind, so that we can read Brown's work, and see her thought. --Nancy Dalva, Merce Cunningham Trust Scholar in Residence This important book makes the essential point that Trisha Brown situated her choreography in relation to visual art not simply because of the community of artists around her, or her affinity for drawing--but, as Rosenberg convincingly argues, because Brown's interests in the preservation and transmission of movement drew strength and inspiration from a proximity to the histories and institutions of art. --Peter Eleey, Museum of Modern Art
