In case you’re not in New York and love modern dance and/or performance art (two conditions that can, in fact, mutually coexist); or, in case you are in New York but don’t feel like making the epic schlep to the Upper East Side: the Whitney has partnered with livestream.com to stream the final run of performances for Off The Wall Part 2—Seven Works by Trisha Brown beginning tomorrow, October 3rd, at 11:15 am on whitney.org.
A note about the photo: I snapped it with my iPhone during the dress rehearsal. Walking on the Wall was first performed at the Whitney in 1971, and the piece is extraordinary, I think, in its defiance of gravity, physics, the body—elegantly mathematical in its restraint, yet playful all the while.
