Trisha Brown Dance Company: Man Walking Down the Side of a Building
6:29 mins
This performance of Man Walking Down the Side of a Building, performed on the façade of Tate Modern, re-stages a ground-breaking dance piece made by the American choreographer Trisha Brown in 1970. In April of that year, Brown strapped a male dancer into a mountaineering harness and sent him walking down the façade of a seven storey building at 80 Wooster Street in Manhattan, New York.
