This task is called Passive/Aggressive.

In it, Mr. Jones said:

“One person becomes the support

and the other person is leaning

and trying to give as much weight as they can.

And then groups of people

connect to those two people.

They can either lift the person up

or they can all just collapse to the ground

or they can just walk out of it.

That’s where the menu gets very exciting:

When you see the combinations and the shapes.”

Trisha Brown US 1936-2017

choreographer

and exemplar of the founding generation

of American postmodern dance

(...)

Few dance inventors

have so combined

the cerebral and sensuous sides of dance

as Ms. Brown did,

and few have been as influential.

Her choreography,

showcased primarily in New York,

helped shape generations

of modern dance creators

into the 21st century.
