Leadership support for The Joyce Theater Foundation has been received from the LuEsther T. Mertz Charitable Trust.

Champion support for The Joyce’s annual programming has been provided by Howard Gilman Foundation and The Shubert Foundation.

Major support for The Joyce has been provided by Booth Ferris Foundation, The Harkness Foundation for Dance, MacMillan Family Foundation, The Jerome Robbins Foundation, and Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

Generous support for this engagement was provided through a grant from The Fan Fox & Leslie R. Samuels Foundation to encourage the performances of New York City-based companies at The Joyce Theater. The Joyce gratefully acknowledges Doris Duke Foundation for its generous endowment funding to support dance performances at The Joyce Theater.

In challenging times, the arts matter more than ever. They capture the essence of our moment, offer space for engagement and reflection, and remind us of what endures. This season at The Joyce, Trisha Brown Dance Company invites you to experience work that speaks to resilience, transformation, and the power of artistic vision.

We dedicate this season to Dorothy Lichtenstein, whose generosity and belief in the arts have helped sustain bold, groundbreaking creativity. Her support echoes Trisha Brown's own spirit—fearless, inventive, and always pushing boundaries.

Central to this program is Brown's Unstable Molecular Structure Cycle, a series of works that embrace fluidity, unpredictability, and the beauty of constant change. These pieces feel especially resonant today, as artists continue to navigate today's uncertainty with innovation and courage.

We're also thrilled to present a new commission by choreographer Lee Serle and visual artist Mateo López, supported by Rolex. This collaboration extends Brown's legacy of experimentation, proving that dance is a living, evolving force.

Your presence here is vital. The arts need supporters, audiences, and believers. By being here, you help ensure that creativity not only survives but thrives. Thank you for being part of this moment.

"Time again" explores the cycles of time, the repetition of life events, and the sensation of returning to familiar moments, questioning whether things truly change or simply repeat in new forms. Inspired by my personal reflections on time’s cyclical nature, the work asks: What shifts when the same events unfold years later—are we different, or is it only time that moves? This new work continues my decade—long collaboration with visual artist Mateo López. Together, our practice embraces chance, time, and encounter—how we inhabit space and the invisible links connecting our daily lives. "Time again" continues our ongoing approach of reusing, recycling, and reinterpreting past works, weaving a continuous thread through our collaborations while introducing new elements unique to each work and moment in time.

Lee Serle and Mateo López commission is generously supported by Rolex.

Trisha Brown Dance Company gratefully acknowledges the following individuals who joined the Producer’s Circle in support of the development of Time again (2025) by Lee Serle and Mateo Lopez: Barbara Bertozzi Castelli, Paula Cooper, James Hampton & Ashley Roland, Michael Hecht, Deborah Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. I.

OPAL LOOP/ CLOUD INSTALLATION #72503

Choreography: Trisha Brown

Set: Fujiko Nakaya

Sculpture Reconstruction Supervision: Bohdan Bushell

Costume Design: Judith Shea

Lighting Design: Beverly Emmons

(1980)

Music: Sound of water passing through high-pressure nozzles

Dancers: Ashley Merker, Patrick Needham, Jennifer Payán, Spencer Weidie

Original Cast: Trisha Brown, Eva Karczag, Lisa Kraus, Stephen Petronio

Special Effects Consultant (Mist): Bohdan Bushell/ J&M Special Effects

Premiere: June 10, 1980 55 Crosby Street, New York, NY

Only once did I talk with Trisha about her image of fog. A native of Washington State on the West Coast, she described the beauty of sea fog as it drifts in layers toward shore. That image and her love of fog stayed with me. Like Cunningham and John Cage’s chance operations, we created situations where dance and fog might meet, diverge, converse—sometimes achieving a serendipitous synchronicity— though ultimately it was up to the viewers to bring together images within themselves. Nonetheless, it required exacting effort: whether the body or atmospheric phenomena, we were both dealing with complex processes of nature. Fog sculptures do not automatically behave like part of nature.

In a 2002 Q & A, the question was raised “What was the most difficult thing about collaborating?” and I had to answer “Not getting the floor wet, though by now I can make dry fog which doesn’t wet the floor. I’m grateful to Trisha for the challenge, but it took twenty years to reach this point.” Whereupon Trisha added, “That’s real collaboration,” both of us exchanging shop talk like two master artisans.

SON OF GONE FISHIN' (1981)

Choreography: Trisha Brown

Music: Robert Ashley, Atalanta (Acts of God)

Lighting Design: Beverly Emmons

Costume Design: Judith Shea

Costume Reconstruction: Kyle Pearson

Dancers: Savannah Gaillard, Burr Johnson, Ashley Merker, Patrick Needham, Jennifer Payán, Spencer Weidie, Rochelle Jamila

Original Cast: Eva Karczag, Lisa Kraus, Diane Madden, Stephen Petronio, Vicky Shick, Randy Warshaw

Premiere: October 16, 1981, BAM Opera House, Brooklyn, NY

Originally performed with moving backdrops designed by Donald Judd, "Son of Gone Fishin’" reappears at The Joyce with a nod to that original design—its signature colors reimagined through saturated lighting on the back wall. “This choreography was a doozey. In it I reached the apogee of complexity in my work. The infrastructure of the piece was related to the

cross-section of a tree trunk. ABC center CBA. Complex group-forms of six dancers were performed first in the normal direction and then in retrograde. Bob Ashley gave us a little library of different tapes to carry with us on tour. The dancers randomly chose which music we would use each performance. Something like having the band along with us. Ashley and Bob Shorr mixed three tapes, titled Willard, Max, and Bud, from orchestral parts of the three operas in Atalanta (Acts of God). At the premiere only, Ashley played the organ and Kurt Munkacsi mixed and processed the combination of live and recorded music.”

WHO'S WHO IN THE COMPANY

TRISHA BROWN (Founding Artistic Director/Choreographer) is one of the most acclaimed and influential choreographers of her time whose groundbreaking work forever changed the landscape of art. A student of Anna Halprin, Brown participated in the choreographic composition workshops taught by Robert Dunn – from which Judson Dance Theater was born – greatly contributing to the fervent of interdisciplinary creativity that defined 1960s New York. With the founding of the Trisha Brown Dance Company in 1970, Brown set off on her own distinctive path of artistic investigation and ceaseless experimentation, which extended for forty years. The creator of over 100 choreographies, six operas, and a graphic artist, whose drawings have earned recognition in numerous museum exhibitions and collections, Brown’s earliest works took impetus from the cityscape of downtown SoHo, where she was a pioneering settler. In the 1970s, as Brown strove to invent an original abstract movement language – one of her singular achievements – it was art galleries, museums and international exhibitions that provided her work its most important presentation context. A major turning point in Brown’s career occurred in 1979, when she transitioned from working in non-traditional and art world settings to assume the role of a choreographer working within the institutional framework associated with dancing – the proscenium stage.

In her lifetime Trisha Brown was the recipient of nearly every award available to contemporary choreographers. The first woman to receive the coveted MacArthur ‘Genius’ Grant (in 1991), Brown was honored by five fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts; two John Simon Guggenheim Fellowships; and Brandeis University’s Creative Arts Medal in Dance (1982). In 1988, she was named Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Arts et Lettres by the government of France In 1999, she received the New York State Governor’s Arts Award and, in 2003, was honored with the National Medal of Arts. She has received numerous honorary doctorates, is an Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and was awarded the 2011 New York Dance and Performance ‘Bessie’ Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2011, Brown received the prestigious Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize for making an “outstanding contribution to the beauty of the world and to mankind’s enjoyment and understanding of life.”

Today, the Trisha Brown Dance Company continues to perpetuate Brown’s legacy through company programming, educational activities, professional licensing, and engagement of the archive. The dance company continues the process of reconstructing and remounting major works that Brown created for the proscenium stage between 1979 and 2011and the "In Plain Site,” initiative which draws on Brown’s model for reinvigorating her choreography through its re-siting in relation to new contexts. In 2023 TBDC expanded its activity to include new choreographic commissions giving the 50+ year-old company an opportunity to engage with contemporary artistic voices that have a connection to Brown’s work, while reaffirming its primary role of preserving Brown’s legacy.

ABOUT THE JOYCE THEATER FOUNDATION

The Joyce Theater Foundation ("The Joyce," Executive Director, Linda Shelton), a nonprofit organization, has proudly served the dance community for more than four decades. Under the direction of founders Cora Cahan and Eliot Feld, Ballet Tech Foundation acquired and The Joyce renovated the Elgin Theater in Chelsea. Opening as The Joyce Theater in 1982, it was named in honor of Joyce Mertz, beloved daughter of LuEsther T. Mertz. It was LuEsther’s clear, undaunted vision and abundant generosity that made it imaginable and ultimately possible to build the theater. Ownership was secured by The Joyce in 2015. The theater is one of the only theaters built by dancers for dance and has provided an intimate and elegant home for over 475 U.S.-based and international companies. The Joyce has also expanded its reach beyond its Chelsea home through off-site presentations at venues ranging in scope from Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater, to Brooklyn’s Invisible Dog Art Center, and to outdoor programming in spaces such as Hudson River Park. To further support the creation of new work, The Joyce maintains longstanding commissioning and residency programs. Local students and teachers (1st–12th grade) benefit from its school program, and family and adult audiences get closer to dance with access to artists. The Joyce’s annual season of about 48 weeks of dance now includes over 300 performances for audiences of over 100,000. Visit Joyce.org for more information.

ABOUT THE JOYCE THEATER FOUNDATION

VISION STATEMENT

The Joyce Theater Foundation is committed to fostering and supporting a diverse and inclusive environment, both on and off stage. We embrace and celebrate diversity in all its forms, and value the rich experiences and perspectives that arise from differences in race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and cognitive and physical ability.

We strive to counteract the social injustices and racism that exist within our communities, our nation, and our world. Our aim as an organization is to embody the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice.

To achieve this, we will:

• Create and implement proactive diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice initiatives;

• Establish and maintain a culture of safe sharing, intentional listening, learning, and growth;

• Engage with and support disenfranchised communities by sharing information and resources and ensuring accessibility;

• Develop metrics and conduct regular reviews of our programs and policies to hold ourselves accountable and shift as neededs.

With these goals in place and our Vision Statement in mind, we are dedicated to the continued learning and growth needed to foster an inclusive environment for all. This is an ongoing process and by nature will be an evolving statement.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Joyce Theater operates on the Lenape island of Manhahtaan (Mannahatta) and acknowledges that it was founded upon the stolen land and erasure of many Indigenous communities. This acknowledgement demonstrates our institution’s commitment to the process of dismantling the legacies of colonialism and cultural imperialism.

We acknowledge the ongoing violence towards Indigenous people through systemic inequality. We pay our respect to the Indigenous peoples who lived and continue to live upon this land, and whose rich history, artistic practices, and spirituality are tied to this land. It is within our responsibility as a cultural institution and our commitment to diversity and inclusion to embody a commitment to Indigenous rights and cultural equity.

We sincerely invite you as an audience member to take a moment to reflect on the history and legacy of displacement, migration, and settlement.

It is our intention to work with local Native American arts councils to better inform our land acknowledgment practices and anticipate that it will evolve over time.
