Listen in as choreographer Noé Soulier discusses his commission for Trisha Brown Dance Company with Joyce Programming Manager Noa Rui-Piin Weiss.

Soulier recounts his time performing Trisha Brown's work and his admiration of her movement philosophy of weight, inertia, and gravity. The second-ever choreographer to be commissioned by Trisha Brown Dance Company, Soulier speaks to his creation process for In the Fall, transforming goal-motivated directives into an investigation of time and shape.

See In the Fall alongside two of Brown's iconic works, Glacial Decoy (1979) and Working Title (1985), at The Joyce Theater from March 26-31, 2024.

​​Noé Soulier's In the Fall was produced by the Trisha Brown Dance Company with Cndc-Angers, Dance Reflection by Van Cleef & Arpels, and Festival d’Automne à Paris. Other major support was provided by Villa Albertine. Photo Credit: Delphine Perrin
