A bald man with a beard sits on the floor, he wears what looks like a loose skirt or dress, and gazes at his right arm which is gently extended horizontally from his side.

Brendan McCall

Reconstructions and a world-premiere continue Trisha Brown´s legacy

A woman holds a full-size human skeleton model in her arms, meeting its gaze with puckered lips in an expressive, playful gesture. She wears a black shirt and is framed against a solid black background. Her body and the skeleton mirror each other, suggesting a dialogue between life and anatomical structure. The image appears on both a tablet and a hardcover book placed on a wooden surface, emphasizing the book's physical and digital presence.

On the Avenue in front of the red sign above Radio City Music Hall, a group of Highland dancers are pictured landing out of a leap onto their right toes, the left leg bent at the knee out to the side, with the left foot touching the opposite leg just below the knee.
