Revisiting Locus: Choreographing patterns through points in space

Free ticket required

This online workshop, lead by choreographer Kate Sicchio, offers a practical exploration of Locus (1975), a seminal work by postmodern choreographer Trisha Brown. Participants will engage with the conceptual and spatial systems Brown used to generate movement, particularly her use of an imaginary cube and alphabet-based structure to map movement in space. Through this system, Brown created a framework where movement is driven by by an algorithm for spatial orientation. As participants work within this structure, they will begin to uncover the subtle and often surprising patterns that emerge—patterns of repetition, symmetry, and variation that arise organically from the constraints of the system.
