Strong movements, bold colors and an interplay with visual art mark the memorable performances of the Trisha Brown Dance Company, named for its founder and visionary choreographer. Those hallmarks, present in the company since its inception, will soon play out across a Boston stage.

Trisha Brown was a landmark choreographer (1936–2017) who honed her signature style while working with Judson Dance Theater in New York in the 1960s.

Her work embraced improvisation, everyday movements and rule-driven choreography. Those principles were the foundation of the Trisha Brown Dance Company, which Brown established in 1970. Over the next four decades Brown used those skills to produce more than 100 dances and six operas. The company continues to uphold those artistic values today.

“For decades, Trisha Brown reshaped the language of contemporary dance, expanding what movement could express and where it could live,” said Gary Dunning, president and executive director of Vivo Performing Arts, formerly Celebrity Series. The Boston performance, he said, “is a milestone for dance lovers — a rare chance to experience the enduring power, pedigree and physical virtuosity of an artist whose influence still shapes the field today.”

The Boston show will feature three works by Brown: “Glacial Decoy,” a blend of dance and visual art created in 1979 by Brown and artist Robert Rauschenberg; “Son of Gone Fishin’” from 1981, fusing memorized movements and improvisation; and “Rogues,” a 2011 piece featuring two dancers playfully mirroring each other.

“This program traces the evolution of Trisha Brown’s artistic vision, from her early collaborations with visual artists to the refined clarity of her later works,” said Kirstin Kapustik, executive director of Trisha Brown Dance Company.

In that way, the performance will serve as an educational survey of Brown’s work for audiences. But the learning doesn’t stop at the stage. As part of a partnership between producing group Vivo Performing Arts and Boston Arts Academy, student musicians and dancers will have the opportunity to participate in an artist-led master class by the dance company and to attend an open dress rehearsal for the performance, putting them up close and personal with the professional artists.

Trisha Brown Dance Company will perform Feb. 13 and 14 at the Boston Arts Academy Theater; tickets start at $62. After the Feb. 14 performance, students and audiences can observe a post-show conversation with dance writer Christine Jowers, founder and editor-in-chief of The Dance Enthusiast.

“Sharing these dances in Boston celebrates Trisha’s extraordinary legacy while showing how alive and relevant her choreography remains today,” said Kapustik. “Through the dancers, audiences can experience the intelligence, generosity and quiet daring that define her work.”
