Trisha Brown Dance Company, with Dai Jian, center, Elena Demyanenko, left, and Tamara Riewe, in “Foray Forêt” at Dance Theater Workshop.
"About halfway through Trisha Brown’s 'Foray Forêt,' two men and a woman suddenly run from different corners of the stage toward the center and simultaneously jump and collide, legs splitting in the air. The woman is spun around, midflight, as if caught in a revolving door, while the men rush seamlessly offstage. It’s a moment, seen on Wednesday night when the Trisha Brown Dance Company began a two-week engagement at Dance Theater Workshop, that sums up a great deal about Ms. Brown’s work and its effects. It is unexpected, virtuosic, funny, arbitrary, subtle, detailed, poetic. It shows how movement uninflected by personal drama or emotional content can resonate with both of those by virtue of juxtaposition and association. And it reveals, too, that while Ms. Brown’s slippery, silky style can look so casual as to feel pedestrian, it’s full of precise intention. ..."
