Postmodern dance troupe to perform up high on Saadiyat

Head to Saadiyat to see Trisha Brown: In Plain Site, a modern dance performance that’ll have you up and out of your seat

This month, you can watch people dance on a roof. Really. New York University Abu Dhabi will be hosting a performance that will see dancers present a selection of works from acclaimed American choreographer Trisha Brown.

Trisha Brown: In Plain Site features six or seven dancers from New York performing a series of movements from the postmodernist choreographer in unexpected spaces throughout the campus, including at the Black Box theatre, west plaza, rooftops and even high-line bridges.

Audience members should wear their walking shoes, as you’ll be on your feet too, following the company on their journey.

The performance will last anywhere from 75 to 90 minutes and will be followed by a question and answer session with the artists. February 24 and 25

NYUAD Arts Center, Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi, Fri and Sat 11am and 4pm, free but prior registration is required. Taxi: NYUAD Arts Center. nyuad.nyu.edu
