Presented in collaboration with the Stanley Museum of Art
A free conversation reflecting on the restaging of historic collaborations between visual artist Robert Rauschenberg and choreographers Trisha Brown and Merce Cunningham—exploring the creative process, archival challenges, and the enduring influence of these groundbreaking works. The conversation will feature Carolyn Lucas (associate artistic director, Trisha Brown Dance Company), Andrea Weber (associate director of licensing, Merce Cunningham Trust), as well as UI faculty—Melinda Jean Myers and Tony Orrico—who danced for Trisha Brown and have restaged work to coincide with the company’s visit to Iowa City. The conversation will be moderated by UI faculty Christopher-Rasheem McMillan.
Free and open to the public.
