Foot in Mouth

Apollinaire Scherr talks about dance

Trisha Brown even works hard at interviews

February 3, 2008 by Apollinaire Scherr Leave a Comment

Here’s my feature for Newsday on the lovely pomo choreographer Trisha Brown. The focus is on nature in her life and work. (Newsday has become very Long Island-focused, and Brown has a cottage in the woods on the island, so it was a natural direction to take.) She’s one of those interview subjects you want to kiss afterwards, because she keeps handing you these great quotes. In her case, I could feel her working to make her language delicious. Hope you enjoy.
And here’s an interview from last week with Brown I found on WNYC’s Sound Check.
And here’s the esteemed Claudia La Rocco’s article in the Sunday Times on Brown’s graceful retirement.
Did I mention the occasion for the Brownomania? The company’s show at the Joyce Theater in Manhattan this week.
Okay, see you at the end of the week.
