About this event
Drawing on his love of embodied archival research, Johnson will explore recovered remnants; unrealized movement materials within the Trisha Brown archive. Rather than replicating the past, he aims to activate it by reinterpreting and recombining these “scraps” with his own choreographic sensibilities. As Johnson describes, “I’m seeking guidance and reassurance in the scientific fact that when someone dies, the matter and energy of their body does not disappear or cease to exist, it transforms. Perhaps this applies to memories of them, as well.” By building a bridge from bodies then to bodies now, Johnson illuminates what memory, lineage, and lived experience can carry forward into the present moment. The work-in-progress will be shared following a three-week choreographic residency at the Catskill Mountain Foundation, alongside excerpts from Trisha Brown’s repertory. Community classes will also be offered as part of the residency.
