A leading light in American postmodern dance, the dancer, choreographer and visual artist Trisha Brown (1936–2017) was famous for her sustained and mercurial style of dancing and her fluid movements built around “structured improvisations”, “letting go” and “release”. Trisha Brown’s name alone evokes fluidity, experimentation, organic dance, rigor and liberty, inverted movement, etc. The choreographer’s works feature in the repertoires of the most prestigious ballet companies. Recreated in 2022 by the Trisha Brown Dance Company along with the CCN - Ballet de Lorraine, Twelve Ton Rose (1996) entered their repertoire on 2 March 2022 at the Opéra national de Lorraine (Nancy).

Do not dispute a woman’s power; emphasise it. This piece, the result of a collaboration between the dancer and choreographer Nach, the Krump’s rising star, and the singer and songwriter Ruth Rosenthal from the duo Winter Family, engages in sensitive dialogue and builds a network between all women, regardless of their differences.
