“Among the dancers I especially admired -- probably the one I admired the most -- was Trisha Brown, and she let me film the [March 30, 1971] rehearsal of her remarkable dance at the Whitney Museum. What I admired about her was her absolute courage, and this was shown by the concept and execution of her dance at the Whitney. Most dancers hesitate a little when they are called upon to do something which might involve a disconcerting accident, but Trisha always did whatever was called for without that moment of hesitation.” — Walter Gutman
“Trisha Brown’s gravity-defying dance along the vertical gallery walls of The Whitney is accompanied here for the first time with the long-lost audio recording discovered among Brown’s possessions in 2017. As the dancers move, the audio captures the noise of the harness rollers squeaking along ceiling mounted metal tracks (the harnesses and wires seen in the film support the dancers’ horizontal position to the wall) and can be heard approximately two minutes into the silent film.” — Bruce Posner
