Brian Brooks Moving Company

Brian Brooks Moving Company Erin Baiano

A recipient of a 2013 Guggenheim Fellowship, Brian Brooks creates dances that test the edges of physical endurance, making “you feel the excitement of the pure-movement experiment in every moment” (The New York Times). His Joyce engagement features a world premiere; a New York premiere set to Steve Reich’s “Vermont Counterpoint;” and two of Brooks’ most recent works—Division, in which the company navigates through an ever-shifting maze of movable and held-held surfaces, and Torrent, which sends a cast of 28 soaring to a revelatory score by Max Richter as they fluctuate between orderly patterns and unrestricted turbulence.

A dancer in a black tutu and leotard and pointe shoes stands on one leg, with the other leg extended behind the body in a straight line. One arm is raised above the head and the other extended to the back parallel to the extended leg. The school director is opposite the dancer and wears a red DTH logo t-shirt and black pants and ballet slippers. She holds the hand of the arm raised above the dancer’s head with one arm and her back arm is extended and she is smiling at the student.
